Step 1. Enter the Volume Reduction Goal in pounds (lbs) , that's the estimated amount of excess volume that needs to be removed from the patient to reach their dry weight. 2.2 lbs = 1 Liter

For example, a patient's normal weight is estimated to be 170 lbs (dry weight), but lately due to an accumulation of excess fluid, their weight is now 195 lbs. That's 25 lbs or 11.4 Liters of excess fluid above dry weight and that's how much is needed to be removed for best results according to the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology Guidelines.

Step 2. Click on "Calculate" and compare the results in treatment time and sodium removed.
