Dry weight: to be set or not to be ... that is a good question

The dialysis procedure should be individually tailored to the client at all times. Learn each client's signs and symptoms for a hypotensive occurrence as well as other signals that suggest the need to adjust fluid removal when aiming for or establishing a new dry weight. Clients may display a variety of indicators, and it is imperative to familiarize yourself as much as possible with client-specific symptoms. Some clients also exhibit specific symptoms prior to actually experiencing a blood pressure drop. Learning these "red flags" is also important.
