Abstract:Introduction: Continuous monitoring of relative blood volume (percentage BV) in hemodialysis (HD) is critical for determining dry weight and preventing intradialytic hypotension. However, the cause of the blood volume variation remains unknown. This research aims to examine factors that influence the percentage BV.
Methods: We devised a formula based on coefficients (“a,” “τ” and “b”) to predict changes in percentage BV. “a” denotes a significant decrease in percentage BV in the early stages of HD. “τ” represe… Show more
