Wcn26-5699 a Multi-Centre Survey on Barriers and Facilitators of Adherence to Dietary and Fluid Restrictions Among Adult Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Cebu

Key Points

The research aims to identify barriers and facilitators influencing adherence to dietary and fluid restrictions among chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis.
Conducted a multi-centre survey across several locations
Included patients undergoing hemodialysis
Evaluated dietary and fluid adherence
Analyzed associations between water quality and health outcomes
Identified key barriers to adherence related to lifestyle and environment
Highlighted the role of drinking water quality in kidney disease morbidity
Demonstrated a need for public health interventions in high-risk areas

Abstract

Conclusion:The findings suggest a potential association between drinking water quality and CKDu morbidity in Costa Rica.Counties with elevated levels of water hardness and historical arsenic in their drinking water exhibited higher SMRs and an increased risk of CKDu.These results are consistent with findings from Sri Lanka and highlight the need for targeted public health interventions and water quality monitoring in high-risk areas.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
