Key result
Social support, comorbidities, and family income are linked to daily interdialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients.
Why the study?
There has been little consistency in findings of correlations among psychosocial variables and compliance behaviour in haemodialysis patients, necessitating further study to predict fluid restriction compliance.
