The oscillatory resistance to respiration ROS is not significantly influenced by the process of dialysis and thus does not allow a conclusion to a possible predialytic increase of the extravascular pulmonary water. The body-plethysmographically determined resistance of the respiratory tract Rt shows homogeneous behaviour. A functionally intact respiratory system is of vital importance for the patient with renal insufficiency.
