- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The change in central blood volume with and without PCDs in both IDH-prone patients and non-IDH prone patients. Central blood volume will be determined using ultrasound dilution technique as per standard procedures. Determined within the first 30 minutes of HD and again within the last 15 minutes of the HD session; this is done for each of the study HD sessions (three with treatment, three with control).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determined within the first 30 minutes of HD and again at the last 15 minutes of HD for each of the study sessions:<br>1. Cardiac output<br>2. Mean arterial pressure <br>3. Bioimpedance derived extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) values
