8-ZONE LUNG ULTRASOUND AND BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR ASSESSMENT OF HYDRATION ST...
Curto, Andreia; Campos, Pedro; Ramos, Mariana; Domingos , Fernando; Alexandre, Inês; Brás, Ana catarina; Santos, Afonso; Serra, AdelaideThe 8-zone Lung US protocol is efficient to evaluate patients prior to HD sessions.

This demonstrates that the 8-zone protocol can effectively be used in routine evaluations of HD patients. Although these techniques reflect different over-fluid compar...
