Hydration Status During the Micturition Cycle Using Bioimpedance for Bladder Monitoring: A Pilot Study

This pilot study investigates the variation of bioimpedance and its relationship with hydration status parameters (Total Water, Extra- Intracellular Water, etc.) during physiological bladder filling and micturition to assess the feasibility of BIA for hydration status changes as a bladder monitoring technique during bladder voiding and filling. Bioimpedance measurements were performed with the Biody Xpert instrument on three subjects: two fasted and one breakfasted. These novel results may have important implications for bioimpedance-based diagnostics.
