Nephrology and hydration monitoring with bioimpedance
Chronic kidney disease: nutritional consequences
Chronic kidney disease primarily results in a reduced ability of the kidneys to filter blood, leading to an increase in extracellular water and potentially to malnutrition due to decreased protein intake. In fact, in this condition, proteins can further damage the kidneys and worsen renal function, prompting healthcare professionals to limit protein intake—especially in advanced stages. Therefore, assessing hydration status and protein mass is highly relevant in the management of these patients.
The devices developed by Aminogram offer non-invasive and rapid analysis, with tests performed in under 10 seconds. Thanks to precise and reproducible measurements, our devices allow for monitoring of patients’ fluid shifts and protein mass.
With the devices developed by Aminogram, it is possible to:
- Monitor the progression of hydration status and adjust care accordingly
- Assess protein mass to prevent the onset of malnutrition in patients.
An essential tool for healthcare professionals aiming to optimize monitoring and improve the quality of life of patients with kidney failure.
