TL;DR: A lung-ultrasound-guided strategy for dry-weight reduction can effectively and safely reduce ambulatory BP levels in hemodialysis patients and clinical implementation of this simple technique can help increase BP control in this population of patients with hypertension.

TL;DR: SGLT-2 inhibitors were associated with statistically significant reduction in albuminuria compared to placebo or active control, and reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio was more prominent in randomized controlled trials in patients with moderately or severely increasedalbuminuria.

TL;DR: No method has proved its value as an intervening tool affecting cardiovascular events, technique, and overall survival in PD patients as BIA and lung US estimate fluid overload in different compartments of the body, they can be complementary tools for volume status assessment.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PD is no better than HD with regard to overall BP control or BP fluctuations over time, and the dialysis modality has no effect on the ambulatory BP profile.

TL;DR: This study is the first to evaluate the effects of a nonpharmacological intervention on short-term BPV in hemodialysis, showing no effect of dry-weight reduction on BPV, despite BP decrease.
