Fluid Volume Excess
Conditions
Brief summary
Comparing the efficacy of both lung ultrasound and electrical cardiometry to detect the extravascular lung water and volume status in pediatric patients on regular hemodialysis and use them as non-invasive methods for early detection of hypervolemia or euvolemia even before appearance of clinical symptoms to decrease morbidity and mortality
Detailed description
This cross sectional study will be conducted to compare between the efficacy of both lung ultrasound and electrical cardiometry to detect the extravascular lung water and volume status in pediatric patients on regular hemodialysis and use them as a non-invasive method for early detection of hypervolemia or euvolemia even before appearance of clinical symptoms of both conditions.
Interventions
DEVICElung ultrasound and electrical cardiometry
: B-lines of lung ultrasound and the parameters of cardiometry will be measured at the mid-week HD session before starting the session by 30 min then every 30min during HD session for 180 min and then after the end of the session of HD by 30 min and then The specificity and sensitivity of both techniques will be compared to each other
