Optimal Frequency of Total Body Water Measurements by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to Prevent Intradialytic Hypotension

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.
