Plasma volume monitoring may not guide hydration or BP assessment in hemodialysis; leaves open validation of alternative volume markers in prospective studies.
Do intradialytic changes in plasma volume and body weight correlate with blood pressure changes in chronic hemodialysis patients?
Intradialytic changes in plasma volume do not significantly influence pre- or post-dialysis blood pressure, suggesting that assessing plasma volume change is not useful for evaluating hydration status in hemodialysis patients.
