The predictive value of bioimpedance-derived fluid parameters for cardiovascular events in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is becoming increasingly evident that the accurate assessment of fluid status is critical to ensure optimal care in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Various fluid parameters, including overhydration (OH) and overhydration/extracellular water (OH/ECW%), which can be obtained using a bioimpedance spectroscopy device have been used to indicate the hydration status in such patients. This study aimed to explore the effect of these fluid parameters on cardiovascular events and determine which parameter was a better predictor of cardiovascular events (CVEs).

Methods

A total of 227 patients who underwent HD at the Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled in this prospective study between December 2017 and August 2018. Clinical data were col
