Core Tip	Adequate hydration status is a concern in patients undergoing hemodialysis, as fluid overload increases the risk of complications and mortality. In our study, we evaluated hydration status before and after the hemodialysis session using data provided by bioelectrical impedance. Hydration status was classified according to the three indices: Overhydration (OH), OH/extracellular water, and extracellular water/body weight. The OH index was the most effective in detected more patients with fluid overload before and after the dialysis session, showed better correlation with hydration parameters provided by bioimpedance, blood pressure, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide.
