Since the introduction of hemodialysis procedure several attempts have been made to elucidate the material tissue interaction in order to evaluate the behaviour of immunosystem cellular and humoral responses to the material of patients on renal replacement therapy. Biochemical and sierological parameters have been considered as method for assessment of the best compatible dialysis. Nevertheless blood tests don't probably reflect the most important symptoms of clinical relevance. Thus we have applied bioelectrical impedance to assess the whole procedure/patient system. Resistance (R) changes during hemodialysis resulted strictly inversely correlated to the body weight variations during HD session (R < 0.96). Reactance (Xc) has also shown a progressive increase associated with an increment of phase angle, while Xc during clinical events such as hypotension, vomiting or cramps showed some transient falls. Also nutritional status and clinical well-being manifested a close relationship with bioelectrical parameters. It is therefore our feeling that BIA monitoring will provide a feasible tool to assess dialysis adequacy, of which biocompatibility represent a crucial aspect.
