I've noticed my target weight and the actual fluid removed doesn't always match. Why is this?

If you drink anything during your treatment, that has to be added into your goal, or you will come out over your dry weight.

Also, if your pressure drops, your nurse may turn off the ultrafiltration, which means your blood will be cleaned but no fluid will be removed, and that will also cause you to come out over your target weight.

Sometimes during treatment they give saline when your bp drops, also they may forget to figure in for the rinseback. Lin.
