Body Composition Measurement (BCM) ~

Since last year on Friday 25th September 2020 I had my BCM tested & checked. It was 0.7 kg over hydration & my dry weight at that moment was 63.3 kg if not mistaken. Hence my dry weight was temporary adjusted to 66.5 kg & at same time to keep in view about body-mind-game/system as conditional factors too.

Then from then onward my dry weight were subsequently & gradually adjustable from 66.5 kg to present moment of 63.9 kg which than adjusted to 64.1 kg on the day of my BCM testing or checking. However, it is still under study & evaluation state at the moment to trace & explore the best bet value of my dry weight as per my body-mind-game/system conditional factors. 

My latest BCM testing or checking was on Wednesday 03/11/21 which is this week only. It was 0.8 kg over hydration. However, my pre weight on that day was 66.2 kg but we still based on 64.1 kg which was adjust immediately from 63.9 kg when my BCM was completed prior the dialysis engagement. I am closely observing & monitoring my dry weight, the target goal UF, UFR & also the cleaning rate respective to safety zone + the pump speed & the duration. Not to forget my own personal genuine body-mind-game/system as conditional factors too inclusive the BPs fluctuations & feeling of course. 

With these combination formula, I am satisfied & happy enough to take note of the general performance in our hemodialysis (HD) treatment or therapy in its most professional way or path as a guideline or road map from working together as a team between the patients & nurses as far as the discipline of centre management are concerned. Particularly when the dry weight require or need for adjustment from time to time or case to case basis when the patients are having good appetite & do regular exercise too. Eventually it it patients' feeling is the essential key or point to be considered as top priority as the rest are just theory for references or reflection.

By estimation theory way of calculation, the BCM is scientific measurement of the body fluid content in our naked body. While physical exploration or detection on lungs sound & body edema such asaround legs area or other parts of the body too. Another thing is the averaging blood pressure phenomena on both dialysis days & none dialysis days with or without BP medicine to be taken. The other factors are enough rest or sleep + diet control + medications + lifestyle, & or, approach or attitude toward life journey + family/relatives/friends/community support or concern & care!
