Overhydration measured by bioimpedance analysis and the survival of patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a single-center study

Overhydration measured by bioimpedance analysis and the survival of patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a single-center study

Background: Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) helps measuring the constituents of the body noninvasively. Prior studies suggest that BIA-guided fluid assessment helps to predict survival in dialysis patients. We aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of BIA for predicting the survival rate of hemodialy...
