Dry weight is your weight without the excess fluid that builds up between dialysis treatments. If you can not control it well, you may have a lot of discomfort during dialysis, such as low blood pressure, headache, nausea, vomiting, etc. How do you calculate dry weight on dialysis? Read on to learn more information.
In most cases, dry weight is an estimate determined by your doctor, based on his or her experience and your input. Your doctor will prescribe your dry weight based on your weight when you have normal blood pressure, the absence of edema, neck veins that are not distended, the absence of lung sounds related to fluid overload, no shortness of breath or congestive heart failure, and a normal size heart shadow on X-ray. And dry weight should be assessed every three to six weeks and adjusted when you gain or lose actual weight.
It is important for you to maintain your dry weight. If you go below dry weight, you may have thirst, dry mouth, cramping, nausea, rapid heartbeat and other symptoms during dialysis. If you go above dry weight, too much fluid will be taken away from your body via dialysis, which can make you feel uncomfortable too.
