[Radiological evaluation of the state of hydration in uremic patients under periodic dialysis].
Seventy-four uremic patients in chronic hemodialysis were studied by X-ray of the thorax before and after the same dialysis. Radiological signs and variables (originally proposed by Milne) related to hemodynamics of pulmonary and systemic circulation were evaluated in relation to fluid subtraction. The study demonstrated the high sensitivity and the clinical value of thoracic radiography in the follow-up of these patients and particularly in the evaluation of fluid overload.
