SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH- February 16, 2010 - Hema Metrics announced earlier today that a new article has been released in the February 1 edition of Hypertension which indicates that relative plasma volume monitoring during hemodialysis aids the assessment of Dry Weight. The article, written by Arjun D. Sinha, Robert P. Light and Rajiv Agarwal, concludes that the Crit-Line is a simple and widely available tool that can aid in the evaluation of dry weight. Furthermore, the article states that periodic monitoring of relative plasma volume may assist in the management of dry weight and control hypertension among long-term hemodialysis patients. A link to the article abstract as well as additional editorial comments can be found by clicking on the following: http://hyper.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/hypertensionaha;55/2/305 Hypertension is the Journal of the American Heart Association.
"We are excited that a peer reviewed article with such positive results has been published in a respected Journal such as Hypertension" said Patrick Moriarty, CEO of Hema Metrics.
