title: Chronic kidney disease: fluid in chronic kidney disease-how much is too much?
abstract: A new study provides cogent evidence that fluid overload—measured using bioimpedance spectroscopy—promotes progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). A prospective randomized trial is warranted to assess the effect of interventions to reduce fluid overload on disease progression in patients with CKD.
