Role of lung ultrasound in estimation of extravascular lung water in patients on regular hemodialysis

Nael Samir, Khaled Elkafas , Ahmed Kamal, Ashraf Donia

Abstract: Chest ultrasonography has recently been shown to be useful for the non-invasive assessment of extravascular lung water, Patients on maintenance hemodialysis are characterized by a condition of volume overload, these patients represent a unique model in which volume overload can be evaluated before and after a rapid fluid clearance determined by the dialytic session. Our aim of work was to assess efficacy of lung ultrasound in detecting extravascular lung water and volume over load.
