Abstract: 【Abstract】"Dry weight" is the simplest and most important indicator to evaluate the adequacy of dialysis in hemodialysis patients, and is crucial for patient survival and the quality of life. There are many approaches to clinically evaluate "dry weight" for dialysis patients. Body composition monitor is the“dry weight”measurement method widely used in clinical practice due to its non-invasive, low expense, intuitive and objective results obtained in a short period of time, and easy to operate along bedside.
