A Predictive Tool for Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation Failure in Hemodialysis Patients
Introduction: For patients undergoing hemodialysis, a native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access due to its cost-effectiveness and longevity. However, AVFs often fail to mature properly, leading to complications and increased healthcare costs. Recent research suggests that bioelectrical impedance phase angle (PA) measurement may serve as a reliable predictor of AVF maturation failure.…

Usefulness of Foot-to-Foot Bioimpedance Analysis for Assessing Volume Status in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Introduction: Determining dry weight is a crucial aspect of managing chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients. Overestimation can lead to fluid overload and increased mortality risk, while underestimation may cause dehydration and hypotension. A recent study conducted at Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital, Senegal, explored the efficacy of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in assessing total body water…
