Protocol summary

Summary
The goal of our study is to assess patient 's dry weight with lower limb bioimpedance spectroscopy to better determination of serum pro b-type natriuretic peptide (ProBNP) and patients' blood pressure changing. Design: Interventional without control group. Population: Patients with chronic kidney disease under hemodialysis. All 53 patients selected for study, will be included in intervention group. Blinding do not be applied in our study. All subjects will be included in the intervention group and randomization Will not be applicable. Inclusion criteria: Patients older than 18 years old who have the history of dialysis for more than 3 months. Exclusion criteria: Psychiatric diseases; pregnancy; breastfeeding; stage 4 of congestive heart failure; positive history of myocardial infarction or stroke in past 6 months; having cardiac pacemaker or implant; having knee or hip implant; having deep venous thrombosis or lymph edema in lower limb. At first, hemodialysis patients in one dialysis session (or more session) are placed constantly under lower limb bioimpedance spectroscopy. When external resistance of lower limb's cells reaches to a plateau state , this point is patient 's dry weight. After reaching the patients' dry weight, bioimpedance will be repeated after three months and six months. Patients' weight and blood pressure will be monitored before and after patients' dialysis. Serum pro b-type natriuretic peptide (ProBNP) will be measured at baseline and at six months later.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention: Determining patient's dry weight with lower limb bioimpedance spectroscopy. Lower limb bioimpedance spectroscopy will be done at supine position in the time of dialysis. Calf resistance will be monitored every 30 minutes in the time of dialysis until extracellular resistance persists despite ultrafiltration continuing. This number represents the estimated dry weight which is determined using bioimpedance spectroscopy. If the patient does not reach the goal dry weight, end dialytic target weight will be reduced 0.2-0.5 Kg in next dialysis sessions. Dry weight will be determined with bioimpedance spectroscopy once at the end of third month after patient reaches the goal dry weight and once at the end of the study (at sixth month). Also, the goal weight will be changed if needed.
