66 What can you do today? Be aware of occult hypervolemia. Ask yourself the question: could these symptoms be due to hypervolemia? If discharged from the hospital, probe dry weight. If BP runs low and the patient is repeatedly hospitalized due to pneumonia, probe dry weight If home BP is high, probe dry weight Technology is unreliable, but RPV is the tool I use as my eyes to volume. Prescribe at least 4 hours of dialysis. If they cut their time or miss dialysis, they are likely not euvolemic. Root cause analysis: transportation, child-care, cramps etc Engage the dietitian, social worker, spouse, the patient to dialyze adequately.

67 Take home message Dialysis is not just about Kt/V, Hgb, Phos. Volume is important. We CAN do better!
