Background
To determine dry weight, the most commonly method is bioimpedance and relative plasma volume(RPV) monitoring. However the cardiothoracic ratio(ct ratio) of chest PA is still a common method of setting the dry weight. It is not clear when to perform chest PA. So chest PA is conducted at the convenience of patients and medical staff regardless of dialysis. We hypothesis that the ct ratio before dialysis would be different from that when the appropriate dry weight was reached.
Methods
We analyzed 211 hemodialysis patients at our hospital from December 1 to 10, 2022. We took chest PA in patients before hemodialysis on Monday or Tuesday, the beginning of the week(Pre-HD ct ratio). When our patients had been considered euvolemia and reached dry weight after hemodialysis during the week, we additionally performed a chest PA test and evaluated the ct ratio(Post-HD ct ratio). Using SPSS ver. 18, we compared the ct ratio of chest PA before and after dialysis. We analyzed the correlation between the difference in the ct ratio of chest PA and the difference between weight and dry weight at the time of the test.
Results
There was a significant difference between the Pre-HD ct ratio(0.513 ± 0.058) and the Post-HD ct ratio(0.491 ± 0.060, P < 0.05). The difference in the ct ratio of the chest PA was correlated with the difference between weight and dry weight. However, differences in ct ratio were not related to gender, age, primary disease, dialysis period, and previous RRT methods.
Conclusion
There was a difference in the ct ratio of chest PA before and after dialysis. As the patient's weight approached the dry weight, the ct raito of the chest PA decreased. We concluded that the appropriate time to administer chest PA was after the patient's weight reached dry weight.
