Does exceeding the recommended intradialytic weight gain threshold worsen left ventricular function in hemodialysis patients?
Exceeding recommended intradialytic weight gain thresholds in hemodialysis patients is associated with significant deterioration in left ventricular diastolic function.
Patients exceeding the recommended IDWG threshold experience more pronounced changes in indices of LV function and significant deterioration of preload-dependent indexes of LV diastolic function.
