- 8-ZONE LUNG ULTRASOUND AND BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR ASSESSMENT OF HYDRATION STATUS IN HEMODIALYSISPublication . Curto, Andreia; Campos, Pedro; Ramos, Mariana; Domingos , Fernando; Alexandre, Inês; Brás, Ana catarina; Santos, Afonso; Serra, Adelaide; Verdelho, Miguel; Pires, AnaThe 8-zone Lung US protocol is efficient to evaluate patients prior to HD sessions. There is a good correlation between the total number of B lines determined by the 8-zone protocol and bioimpedance parameters such as TBW, ECW, and normalized OH. This demonstrates that the 8-zone protocol can effectively be used in routine evaluations of HD patients. Although these techniques reflect different over-fluid compartments, they have a complementary role for fluid overload determination and dry weight guidance.
