Optimal Frequency of Total Body Water Measurements by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to Prevent Intradialytic Hypotension
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) for Intradialytic Hypotension and End Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis. Completed, enrolled 94 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the efficiencies of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurement frequency in preventing intradialytic hypotension in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. The main question aimed to answer about the optimum frequency of BIA measurements to prevent intradialytic hypotension. Participants underwent BIA measurements to determine their appropriate dry weight, and factors affecting intradialytic hypotension. Researchers compared the efficiencies of BIA measurements between the every-1-month group and the every-2-month group to prevent intradialytic hypotension.

Timeline
Interventions
Measure BIA for patients' dry weight to compare between measuring every-1-month or every-2-month. In brief, BIA is the machine used for measure body components such as fat, muscle, and free water. It relies on the principle of using the multifrequency of low electric currents to the body and measurement of the ability of the electrical currents passing different body composition. Thus, the machine can calculate back for the amount of each body composition.
