Dialysate sodium and sodium gradient in maintenance hemodialysis: a neglected sodium restriction approach?
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2011; (4): 1281-7
A higher sodium gradient (dialysate sodium minus pre-dialysis plasma sodium) during hemodialysis (HD) has been associated with sodium loading; however, its role is not well studied. We hypothesized that a sodium dialysate prescription resulting in a higher sodium gradient is associated with increases in interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), blood pressure (BP) and thirst.
