Abstract

The management of volume status in dialysis patients is an important determinant of the rate of decline of residual kidney function. The implementation of clinical protocols to guide volume management in the in-center hemodialysis unit resulted in comparable rates of development of anuria and decline in residual kidney function when compared with bioimpedance spectroscopy-guided volume management. Clinical judgment and experience are important drivers of patient outcomes. The importance and applicability of bioimpedance spectroscopy in other clinical settings, such as units without clear volume management protocols or in home dialysis units, remain to be seen.
