Embodiment Construction

[0063] As discussed above, in its various embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to the problem of monitoring fluid conditions in a patient. Patients will typically undergo hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or other forms of dialysis due to kidney failure.

[0064] Nevertheless, the methods and devices disclosed herein can also be used to assess fluid status and / or reduce fluid overload in patients suffering from diseases other than renal failure, such as heart failure, liver failure and / or chronic kidney disease, It has not resulted in the need for dialysis treatment. For example, knowledge of dry weight may be of value in heart failure patients who are being treated with diuretics to reduce their fluid volume. As in dialysis, knowledge of the patient's dry weight has clinical implications in determining how much diuretic to prescribe.

[0065] Additionally, the methods and devices can be used in conjunction with estimating dry weight and / or reducing fluid overloa...

Abstract

In an embodiment, the invention relates to methods, apparatus, computer programs and computer program products for estimating a dry weight of a dialysis patient comprising the steps of determining a first fluid status of the patient between treatment sessions in a first stage, determining a second fluid status of the patient during treatment sessions in a second stage and estimating the dry weight based on the second fluid status.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 536,488, filed September 19, 2011, and International Application No. PCT / US2011 / 052152, filed September 19, 2011, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety and Enter the contents of both. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to dry weight estimation of dialysis patients and bringing an initially hyperhydric dialysis patient to a euhydric state and / or dry weight. Although with general prosthetics, knowledge of an individual's dry weight is especially important for renal patients undergoing dialysis procedures. Background technique [0004] Fluid status is an important issue in chronic dialysis patients and is associated with clinical outcome. Indeed, knowledge of a patient's fluid status is essential in the efficient management of hemodialysis as well as peritoneal dialysis patients. Chronic fluid overload...
