Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In hemodialysis (HD) patients, one limitation to adequate ultrafiltration necessary to achieve optimal hydration status (dry weight) is inadequate vascular refilling from the interstitial space. Blood pressure may decrease due to limitation of vascular refilling even when dry weight is far from being achieved. Therefore, an objective and accurate method to provide hydration state would be very useful for clinical practice. Whole body bioimpedance techniques have been used to measure body fluid volume for many years. However, it is difficult to accurately indicate the hydration state by body fluid volume of normal variations, and the accuracy of measurement is influenced by various body compositions. Recently, the investigators have proposed that hydration can be approached using a calf bioimpedance technique by monitoring change in resistance during HD. Since the lower limbs tend to contain more fluid than other body segments in ambulatory people due to the effect of gravity, measurement of the calf provides more accurate information about body hydration in the HD patient.
In this study, the investigators hypothesize that:
1. Since the degree of hydration is greater in the leg than in the arm and the trunk due to the effect of gravity, monitoring change in resistance in the whole or part of the leg will provide information as to whether optimal hydration status (a state in which excess extracellular fluid is absent) has been attained. The investigators postulate that a change in the slope of resistance curve (CSR) in the calf approaches zero as optimal hydration status is achieved.
2. Optimal hydration status can be approximated by comparison of two values: (1) measurement of local electrical resistivity in the interstitial compartment and (2) known range of resistivity in healthy subjects (HS). Combination of the normalized resistivity (μ) and CSR are considered as indicators of physiological optimal hydration status. Physiological optimal hydration status, as an objective index, is a major goal of hemodialysis so that the excess body water can be maximally removed according to this value. In practice this can be approached but should never be exceeded.
Because flattening of the curve should be verified by the near normal resistivity, a group of healthy subjects would have to be added to provide a normal range of resistivity at all ages and both sexes.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hemodialysis patients
Dialysis patients will have their estimated dry weight measured with calf segmental bioimpedance. Based on these measurements, their dry weight will be adjusted and the amount of fluid removed during subsequent dialysis treatments will be increased by 200-300mL. The additional fluid removal will occur during 3 consecutive hemodialysis sessions. In addition, these subjects will also use VStim during these treatments. to prevent common intradialytic symptoms by promoting vascular refilling.
No interventions assigned to this group
Healthy Controls
No Intervention was administered. Both groups had their hydration status measured with segmental bioimpedance The group of healthy subjects was studied in order to obtain a range of values for normal hydration status.
