About

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

Full 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.
