Fluid volume and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients is an essential
component of dialysis adequacy. Restoring salt and water homeostasis in hemodialysis …

Space medicine and new technology such as magnetic resonance imaging of tissue sodium
stores (23 NaMRI) have changed our understanding of human sodium homeostasis and …

Predialysis volume overload is the sum of interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and residual
postdialysis volume overload. It results mostly from failure to achieve an adequate volume …

Background Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of death in dialysis patients,
and strongly associated with fluid overload and hypertension. It is plausible that low …

Restoring and controlling fluid volume homeostasis is still a challenge in contemporary end‐
stage kidney disease patients treated by intermittent hemodialysis (HD) or hemodiafiltration …

Background: Preclinical data suggest sodium deposited (without water) in tissues may lead
to aberrant remodeling and systemic inflammation, independently of fluid overload in …

Results Fifty patients (10.5%) had hyponatremia; these patients tended to be older and less
educated, to have less inflammation, and to have the higher prevalence of cognitive …

Background It is the object of debate whether a low or high dialysate sodium concentration
(DNa+) should be advocated in chronic haemodialysis patients. In this paper, we aimed at …

Background Hypertension is frequent in chronic hemodialyzed patients and usually treated
by reducing extracellular fluid. Probing dry weight only based on a clinical evaluation may …

Dietary salt intake is a long-debated issue. Increased sodium intake is associated with high
blood pressure, leading to salt-sensitive hypertension. Excessive salt intake leads to arterial …
