TLDR
These data suggest that interdialytic weight gain in individual patients may be associated with the use of dialysate Na+ concentration in excess of the patient's desired Na+ “setpoint”.
Abstract
IntroductionHemodialysis patients lack the normal mechanisms to regulate body water volume and osmolality The dialysis treatment is expected to adequately regulate both body water volume and body N...

Predialysis serum sodium level, dialysate sodium, and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients: the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

TL;DR: Lower serum sodium levels are associated with certain hemodialysis patient characteristics and higher adjusted risk of death and may be related to intradialytic cardiovascular stability, and deserves further study.

Dialysate Sodium Concentration and the Association with Interdialytic Weight Gain, Hospitalization, and Mortality

TL;DR: In the absence of randomized prospective studies, the benefit of reducing IDWG by decreasing DNa prescriptions should be carefully weighed against an increased risk for adverse outcomes.

A brief review of intradialytic hypotension with a focus on survival.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that IDH causes acute reversible segmental myocardial hypoperfusion and contractile dysfunction (myocardial stunning), which can result in long‐term loss of myocardia contractility, leading to premature death, and a paradigm shift to its approach is urgently needed.

Dialysate sodium, serum sodium and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis

TL;DR: The relationship between serum and dialysate sodium and mortality appears to be variable and further research is warranted to determine the biological mechanisms of these associations and to re-examine total body sodium handling in hemodialysis.

Clinical consequences of an individualized dialysate sodium prescription in hemodialysis patients

TL;DR: An individualized Na(+) dialysate based on predialysis plasma Na(+) levels decreases thirst, IDWG, HD-related symptoms, and pre-HD BP (in patients with uncontrolled BP at baseline).

Long-term survival rates in haemodialysis patients treated with strict volume control

TL;DR: The large majority of the patients had low-normal BP after long periods of treatment and showed the lowest mortality, favouring the view that target BP should be lower than advised by most authors.

Dietary salt restriction and reduction of dialysate sodium to control hypertension in maintenance haemodialysis patients.

TL;DR: This work has demonstrated were long hours of overnight dialysis on a Kiil that it is possible to lower blood pressure and reduce dialyser with a cuprophan membrane and the importance of salt restriction as a requirement for regime.

A critical evaluation of ultrasound measurement of inferior vena cava diameter in assessing dry weight in normotensive and hypertensive hemodialysis patients

TL;DR: It is confirmed that extracellular fluid overload plays an important role in the pathogenesis of dialysis-associated hypertension and IVCD measured at the end or shortly after HD may therefore be misleading in assessing dry weight.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interdialytic weight gain, compliance with dialysis regimen, and age are independent predictors of blood pressure in hemodialysis patients.

TL;DR: Greater interdialytic weight gain and noncompliance with dialysis regimen are independently associated with higher blood pressure, and advancing age is associated with lower blood pressure levels in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.
