Hypervolemia in ESRD Patients in Zonguldak (Prospective Study)

There is no easily applicable method to determine extra cellular volume and consequently estimate DW. Thus DW has to be clinically defined by ''trial and error'' and several indirect methods. Recently, devices to measure DW by Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BİS) have become available. This non-invasive, cheap easily repeatable method has the potential to improve dialysis outcome in the majority of patients all over the world, The aim of the present project is to assess the feasibility of volume control by using a BİS device.
