Article Links - Dialysis Side Effects - Low B/P's

[Charlie B53]

I ran across a couple of articles on a couple of the FB Dialysis sites and thought them informative enough they need to be passed onto everyone.  All good info.

Some Physical Side Effects of Dialysis is found an a Davita website.

In Singapore in 2014 they mentioned they had scanners which could accurately tell you your dry weight and then in Ireland in 2016 the machines could tell you how much extra water your blood contained so they knew exactly how much liquid to remove. (The blood/water measurements has to be fairly simple.)  That Irish machine would also add extra water to your blood outside the machine to it could do better filtering.

Its sad here in the US with huge amounts spent on healthcare we don't get helpful technologies like that which would prevent going under your dry weight and the corresponding low blood pleasures...
