Key result
Higher interdialytic weight gain was associated with cardiovascular endpoints in hemodialysis patients (3.77 weight% in those with events vs. 3.19 weight% without; P<0.001).

Higher interdialytic weight gain may flag elevated cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis; leaves open whether limiting gain improves outcomes.

Does extensive interdialytic weight gain increase the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in hemodialysis patients?
p-value: p=<0.001
Extensive interdialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality.
Holmberg et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Hemodialysis (n=97). Interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) was evaluated on Death, acute myocardial infarction, or coronary vascular intervention (p=<0.001). Higher interdialytic weight gain was associated with cardiovascular endpoints in hemodialysis patients (3.77 weight% in those with events vs. 3.19 weight% without; P<0.001).
