Volume Control by Using the Body Composition Monitor in a Puerperal Patient on Hemodialysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate measurement of the volume status in hemodialysis patients is important as it can affect mortality. However, no studies have been conducted regarding volume management in cases where a sudden change of body fluid occurs, such as during puerperium in hemodialysis patients. This report presents a case in which the patient was monitored for her body composition and her volume status was controlled using a body composition monitor (BCM) during the puerperal period. This case suggests that using a BCM for volume management may help maintain hemodynamic stability in patients with a rapidly changing volume status for a short term period, such as during puerperium.

Dialysis is one of the effective methods which has been used since 1955 for the treatment of patients suffering from renal failure( more often of its chronic type). The dialysis results in the elimination of waste materials like urea and creatinine from the body, on the other hand, it can affect the serum contamination of the dialysis fluid. Aluminium is one of trace elements which its serum le...

Hypertension is a common finding in end-stage renal disease patients with the prevalence between 20 to 85%. Although the etiology of arterial hypertension (AH) in this patient group is multifactorial, sodium and volume excess leading to extracellular volume overload are one of the most important and potentially adjustable causes. Control of volume status can either normalize the blood pressure ...

INTRODUCTION Volume overload and the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system (RAAS) are 2 major factors contributing to hypertension (HTN) among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Although volume-dependent components of HTN can be corrected by appropriate volume removal, a proportion of HD patients experience elevated blood pressure (BP) despite achieving euvolemic and ideal dry weight. METHOD AND ANAL...
