Estimation of Filtration Coefficients and Circulating Plasma Volume by Continuously Monitoring Hematocrit during Hemodialysis

Abstract

These data indicated that reduction of Lp/Vp0 was not simply caused by decreased circulating plasma volume (Vp0/BW) and that the suppressed filtration coefficients may have substantial association with dialysis-induced hypotension in non-DM. The estimation of Lp using in-line measurement of Ht was a useful method for analyzing intradialytic hypotension.
