Dry weight, in the context of dialysis patients, refers to the weight at which a patient’s body is in fluid balance, meaning they neither retain nor lose excess fluid. It is a critical factor in dialysis treatment because dialysis removes excess fluid from the body, and knowing the patient’s dry weight helps in determining how much fluid needs to be removed during each dialysis session.

It’s typically determined by a healthcare professional, often a nephrologist (kidney specialist), based on clinical evaluation and monitoring.
