Its actually a IVC Scanner.<br /><br />In Apollo, Jubilees hills, they DO a SCAN (the machine is similar to 2D-Echo Scanner) to figure out the patient Dry-weight. With this machine they scan the IVC (Inferior Vena cava), the large vein that carries the blood from the entire lower part of the body and connects to heart.<br /><br />if the patient is near about his/her Dry-weight, the IVC shows the required compression in SCAN. If the patient has some excess fluid in the body i.e with fluid overload, then IVC in the body gets dilated and it will show less compression in the SCAN. (This is what I could understand from the explanation while discussing with the doctor).<br />With the help of this periodical SCAN, there, they slightly adjust the patient's UltraFiltration volume. this way it is useful in fixing the Dry-weight which normally changes due to various factors that you mentioned. <br /><br />Last Year, as I was suffering with uncontrolled hypertension, my Doctor advised me to first figure out the dry-weight before increasing the Dosage of medicines. But they were not doing this SCAN as OP diagnosis. One Doctor (PG Student) was doing Project study on this subject then, and he was doing this SCAN for all the Dialysis patients. <br /><br /><br /> <br />jogalamuralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008128896498592297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-34903162778960709322017-04-05T19:06:01.812+05:302017-04-05T19:06:01.812+05:30Great idea.Great idea.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713165371595242185noreply@blogger.com
