Assessment of Volumetric Hemodynamic Parameters and Nutritional Status in Stable Renal Transplant Recipients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Changes in volumetric hemodynamic parameters and fluid overload (Cardiac Index,Stroke Volume, Thoracic Fluid Content, Systemic Vascular Resistance) were measured using a impedance cardiography (ICG) (CardioScreen 1000 - Haemodynamic Measurement System, Medis. Ilmenau) in stable renal transplant recipients Nutritional status was measured by Tanita 418 Monitor.
