Summary
This study tested whether using a special scale (bioimpedance) to measure body fluid levels each month could help doctors set the right dry weight for hemodialysis patients. The goal was to reduce serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, and low blood pressure during dialysis. Fifty patients took part, with one group getting fluid-guided adjustments and the other receiving standard care.
