Key Points

Evaluate the clinical relevance of ultrafiltration volume variability as a key factor in hemodialysis fluid management and patient prognosis.
Critical commentary and appraisal of published evidence regarding ultrafiltration volume (UFV) variability.
Evaluation of associations between fluctuating fluid removal rates and adverse clinical endpoints in maintenance hemodialysis.
Fluctuations in ultrafiltration volume between dialysis sessions correlate with unfavorable clinical outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis.
High variability in fluid removal reflects unstable fluid balance, potentially exacerbating cardiovascular strain and mortality risk.

Implication

Clinical commentary highlights ultrafiltration volume variability during hemodialysis, indicating its critical role in patient fluid management and outcomes.

Abstract

Dear EditorsWe read with great interest the recent study by Kang et al. which examined the association between ultrafiltration volume (UFV) variability and clinical outcomes in patients receiving m...
