Limited evidence precludes routine sodium restriction in hemodialysis; leaves open effects on hard endpoints pending randomized trials.
Since the earliest days of hemodialysis, dietary sodium restriction has been recommended as a therapeutic means to mitigate problems of extracellular volume overload, hypertension and inter-dialytic weight gain. Recently, there has been a proliferation of human subjects' research examining the potential effects of dietary sodium curtailment. Herein we examine the available evidence with respect to the effects of dietary sodium restriction on clinically relevant endpoints among hemodialysis patients.

Causland et al. (2012) conducted a review in Hemodialysis. Dietary sodium restriction was evaluated on Clinically relevant endpoints (extracellular volume overload, hypertension, inter-dialytic weight gain). This review examines the available evidence regarding the effects of dietary sodium restriction on clinically relevant endpoints among hemodialysis patients.
