Summary

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common clinical condition. In this population, the prevalence of systemic hypertension is high and its adequate control can determinate the outcome.

The first step for a good control of blood pressure in renal patients is adjusting his/her dry weight. Actually, dry weight is assessed based on clinical examination and blood pressure.

The electrical bioimpedance is a simple and portable device. The investigators design a randomized clinical trial for evaluating two ways of getting the best dry weight for hemodialysis patients.

A basal 24h ABPM will be taken before the randomization. Then, 2 weeks later the dry weight be revised, the investigators will get a second 24h ABPM.

PROCEDURE

Clinical

Each patient will be submitted a clinical evaluation, considering signals of overload.

DEVICE

electrical bioimpedance

From electrical bioimpedance data, will be fixed a revised dry weight for each patient.
