Overhydration is reported to be the main cause of hypertension (HTN) as well as to have no association with HTN in hemodialysis (HD) population. This is the first report of the relationship between interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and pre-HD blood pressure (BP) in pediatric patients in relation to residual urine output (RUO). We studied 170 HD sessions and interdialytic periods performed during...

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic harmed the world community including hemodialysis patients. It has affected physical and psychological status of AIM: This study aimed to evaluate dialysis adequacy, interdialytic weight gain, quality life in patients undergoing during COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A quantitative with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 105 regular ...

BACKGROUND Low serum sodium (Na) has been associated with decreased body mass index and increased cardiovascular mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. We examined the relationship between serum Na and selected nutritional parameters of protein energy wasting that are not affected from the hydration status in a cohort of HD patients. METHODS Triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), mid-arm circum...

The current interpretation of the controversial and dynamic nature literature reports in this area leads me to lean towards preference a standard DNa+ upper range (138 mEq/L) international utilization clinical directors Brazil. My opinion individualize (plus minus 2 mmol/L prescription) would be based on clinically relevant signals excessive interdialytic weight gain uncontrolled hypertension (...

Volume expansion is one of the most important factors that results in higher levels of blood pressure in patients with chronic kidney disease. This has been known for many years, and led to the original description of the concept of dry weight in 1967.1 This is especially important in patients with end-stage renal disease who require dialysis for volume control. Inadequate control of volume or ...
