Key result
Higher interdialytic weight gain as a percentage of body weight was associated with younger age, greater height and weight, absence of diuresis, and lower postdialysis plasma sodium levels.
Why the study?
What patient factors and nutritional parameters are associated with interdialytic weight gain in adult hemodialysis patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=138)
What patient factors and nutritional parameters are associated with interdialytic weight gain in adult hemodialysis patients?
Interdialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients is primarily associated with age, height, weight, diuresis, and postdialysis sodium, and correlates with higher diastolic blood pressure.

May guide individualized fluid counseling in younger non-anuric HD patients; leaves open causal effects and intervention trials.
Ipema et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Haemodialysis (n=138). Interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) vs. Lower IDWG was evaluated on Factors associated with %IDWG. Higher interdialytic weight gain as a percentage of body weight was associated with younger age, greater height and weight, absence of diuresis, and lower postdialysis plasma sodium levels.
