[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...
