Many patients with end-stage renal disease are accustomed to living at a higher-than-normal fluid status. Despite aggressive ultrafiltration measures taken during dialysis treatment, patients ...

Fluid overload, or hypervolemia, is a common complication of kidney disease, particularly in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis. It is associated with a higher burden of ...

Hemodialysis cleans your blood using a machine outside your body. Dialysis is necessary when kidneys fail, typically at end-stage renal disease. Some people develop anemia and electrolyte imbalances ...

The committee discussed current practice in the NHS for monitoring the fluid status of people with chronic kidney disease who are having dialysis. It heard from clinical experts that target weights ...
