Observational Study Evaluating the Hemodynamic Relationship Between Volume Removal and Pulse Pressure Variation During Renal Replacement Therapy

Dialysis is used to control the fluid balance and metabolic state of patients with kidney
disease. Control of the metabolic state, via electrolytes, can be monitored using labs that
are routinely drawn from patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis. Control of fluid
removal is much more difficult. This study aims to determine whether changes in the blood
pressure associated with breathing correlate with or predict intolerance to fluid
responsiveness with continuous dialysis.

We hypothesize that a measurement of changes in blood pressure with breathing called
arterial pulse pressure variation may be able to predict the ability to remove fluid during
continuous renal replacement therapy.
