View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The objective of this prospective observational study is to determine the utility of ultrasonographic assessment using the VExUS protocol for dry weight adjustment in clinically euvolemic patients undergoing hemodialysis. The primary hypothesis is that the assessment of venous congestion by ultrasound may help identify patients who can tolerate increased ultrafiltration, thereby improving blood pressure control. The comparison group will consist of patients who do not meet the criteria for venous congestion according to the VExUS protocol. In patients meeting the criteria for venous congestion, the ultrafiltration volume during hemodialysis will be increased.
