Achievement of euvolemia is a fundamental challenge in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) population. Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is one of the best techniques for routine assessment of hydration status (HS) in PD, but in recent years, the role of brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) in the assessment of volume status has gained interest. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between BNP and volume status as measured by BIS in PD patients and to assess how these variables correlate according to the time that a patient has been on PD.
