DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SEGMENTAL BIOIMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS OFA DIALYSIS PATIENT

摘要

The present invention includes a method of determining the dry body weight o f a patient undergoing dialysis by means of segmental bioimpedance analysis. I n preferred embodiments, dry body weight is determined by comparison to the bioimpedance values of normal subjects or by monitoring changes in bioimpedance during dialysis. One embodiment of the present invention is a device for determining dry body weight during dialysis.
