[PMID: 38012855 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To identify health literacy profiles in individuals receiving haemodialysis and to explore how these profiles interact with individuals' self-efficacy, engagement with traditional dietary habits, self-reported fluid restriction and relative-interdialytic weight gain. DESIGN A cross-sectional study engaging nephrology departments from four hospitals in Guangdong Province, China. METHODS A sample of 433 individuals receiving haemodialysis participated between December 2018 and July 2019. We assessed health literacy, self-efficacy and self-reported fluid restriction using the Health Literacy Questionnaire, the Fluid Self-efficacy Scale and the Fluid Adherence Subscale, respectively. Traditional dietary habits, including daily tea drinking, soup drinking and preserved food consumption, were measured using three yes/no questions. Relative-interdialytic weight gain was calculated by dividing the mean interdialytic weight gain (from three recent intervals) by dry weight. Latent profile analysis and structural equation modelling were performed. RESULTS Three health literacy profiles were identified: low, moderate and high. Compared to those in the low health literacy profile, individuals in high and moderate health literacy profiles demonstrated an indirect association with reduced relative-interdialytic weight gain. This reduction can be attributed to their higher self-efficacy levels, decreased reliance on dietary habits and higher self-reported fluid restrictions. CONCLUSIONS Most participants exhibited either low or moderate levels of health literacy. Improving health literacy has the potential to promote self-efficacy and foster effective fluid restriction, ultimately leading to a reduction in relative-interdialytic weight gain in individuals receiving haemodialysis. IMPACT This study reveals heterogeneity in health literacy levels among individuals receiving haemodialysis and illuminates the connections between an individual's entire spectrum of health literacy and fluid management. These findings provide valuable insights for developing person-centred fluid management interventions, especially for individuals with diverse cultural dietary backgrounds within the haemodialysis population. REPORTING METHOD We adhered to the STROBE guideline. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Patients were included only for collecting their data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several countries are experiencing challenges in maintaining standard haemodialysis services for people with kidney failure. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the health profile of people receiving haemodialysis and to identify factors associated with interdialytic weight gain. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 166 adults with kidney failure and receiving haemodialysis for at least 3 months were included. MEASUREMENTS A structured chart audit form collected, demographic and haemodialysis treatment characteristics, recent biochemical and haematological results, and prescribed treatment regimens from clinical records. Data were analysed descriptively. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to identify independent risk factors for interdialytic weight gain. RESULTS Mean age was 52 years (SD = 12.5), over half were male (60.2%, n = 100), and most were receiving 4 h of haemodialysis once per week (87.3%, n = 145). Approximately half (51.8%, n = 86) had an interdialytic weight gain >2%. Being female (OR = 3.39; 95% CI, 1.51-7.61), increased comorbidities (OR = 1.50; 95% CI, 1.22-1.84) and having BMI outside of the normal range (overweight/obese [OR = 8.49; 95% CI, 3.58-20.13] or underweight [OR = 4.61; 95% CI, 1.39-15.31]) were independent risk factors for increased interdialytic weight gain. CONCLUSION Most patients were receiving 4 h of haemodialysis once per week although only modest alterations in potassium, phosphate, and fluid status were observed. Understanding the patient profile and predictors of interdialytic weight gain will inform the development of self-management interventions to optimise clinician support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thirst is a frequent and burdening symptom in many patients, especially in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and/or receiving hemodialysis (HD). As drug therapies are not feasible, non-pharmacological strategies are needed to reduce thirst and thirst-related burden. OBJECTIVES To identify non-pharmacological interventions aiming to reduce thirst in patients with CHF and/ or HD, to describe intervention components, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions. METHODS In February 2024, we completed a systematic search in MEDLINE via PubMed, Livivo, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, performed critical appraisal and data extraction. We checked risk of bias with the checklists of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and calculated meta-analyses for sufficiently homogeneous studies using fixed-effects models. RESULTS We included 15 intervention studies applying non-pharmacological interventions including chewing gum (n = 8), low-sodium diet (n = 2), acupressure (n = 1), frozen strawberries (n = 1), fluid timetables (n = 1), ice cubes and mouthwash (n = 1), and a psychological intervention (n = 1). Sample sizes varied between 11 and 88 participants. Eleven intervention studies showed a reduction of thirst as intervention effect. Meta-analyses for chewing gum showed no significant effect on thirst using a visual analogue scale (IV: -2,32 [-10.37,5.73]; p = 0.57) or the dialysis thirst inventory (IV: -0.26 [- 1.83, 1.30]; p = 0.74). Quality of studies was moderate to low. CONCLUSION Results indicate that various non-pharmacological interventions could be helpful to reduce thirst in patients with CHF or HD, but important uncertainty remains.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at evaluating the effect of low dialysate sodium concentration on interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in chronic hemodialysis patients. METHODS Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were English language papers published in a peer-reviewed journal and met the following inclusion criteria: (1) studies in adult patients (over 18 years of age), (2) included patients on chronic hemodialysis since at least 6 months; (3) compared standard (138-140 mmol/l) or high (> 140 mmol/l) dialysate sodium concentration with low (< 138 mmol/l) dialysate sodium concentration; (4) Included one outcome of interest: interdialytic weight gain. Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for the quality of reporting for each study was performed using the Quality Assessment Tool of Controlled Intervention Studies of the National Institutes of Health. The quality of reporting of each cross-over study was performed using the Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) tool for cross-over trials as proposed by Ding et al. RESULTS: Nineteen studies (710 patients) were included in the analysis: 15 were cross-over and 4 parallel randomized controlled studies. In cross-over studies, pooled analysis revealed that dialysate sodium concentration reduced IDWG with a pooled MD of - 0.40 kg (95% CI - 0.50 to - 0.30; p < 0.001). The systematic review of four parallel, randomized, studies revealed that the use of a low dialysate sodium concentration was associated with a significant reduction of the IDWG in two studies, sustained and almost significant (p = 0.05) reduction in one study, and not significant reduction in one study. CONCLUSION Low dialysate sodium concentration reduces the IDWG in prevalent patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Chhabra R, Davenport A. Is increased subjective thirst associated with greater interdialytic weight gains, extracellular fluid and dietary sodium intake? Artif Organs 2024; 48:91-97. [PMID: 37902178 DOI: 10.1111/aor.14657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Some previous studies have reported an effect of increasing subjective thirst and interdialytic weight gains (IDWG), and that this may be influenced by nonadherence to dietary sodium restrictions, whereas others reported no such association. As such we wished to review the effect of self-reported thirst on IDWGs and dietary sodium intake. METHODS Dialysis patients were asked to complete visual analogues thirst, distress thermometer (DT) scores and complete a sodium food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ). IDWG and pre and post dialysis volumes were measured with multifrequency bioelectrical impedance. RESULTS One hundred and eleven patients completed the questionnaires and had bioimpedance measurements: 63% male, mean age 63.8 ± 16.1 years, 33% diabetic with a median thirst score 3 (0-5) and SFFQ 52.0 ± 18, and IDWG 2.1 ± 1.3%. Thirst was associated with DT (r = 0.28, p = 0.004) and negatively with age (r = -0.31, p < 0.001), but not SFFQ, IDWG, extracellular water, or dialysate sodium, or dialysate to plasma gradient. Patients with higher thirst scores were younger (58.0 ± 15.2 vs. 69.4 ± 15.0 years, p < 0.001) with higher DT scores (5 [2-7] vs. 2 [0-5], p < 0.001). On multivariate logistic analysis, only age was associated with self-reported thirst (odds ratio 0.95, 95% confidence limits 0.92-0.98, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION We found that subjective thirst was greater for younger patients and those who reported higher levels of distress, but no association with IDWGs, dietary sodium intake, or dialysate sodium. However, most of our patients followed the dietary advice, as evidenced by the low SFFQ scores and % IDWGs. Whether thirst increases distress or distress increases subjective thirst remains to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main treatment method for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). With the continuous improvement of dialysis technology, the survival period of MHD patients has been effectively prolonged, but dialysis technology still cannot completely replace renal function. OBJECTIVE To study the dietary compliance and its correlation with thirst in MHD patients and to provide guidance for clinical development of corresponding intervention countermeasures. METHODS A total of 90 patients who received MHD treatment from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as objects. The Renal Adherence Attitudes Questionnaire (RAAQ) and the Renal Adherence Behaviour Questionnaire (RABQ) were used to analyze the dietary compliance and thirst status of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between diet compliance and thirst. RESULTS Positive correlations were found between VAS and DTI, SXI and TDS (P< 0.05). Social restrictive attitude was positively correlated with VAS, DTI, SXI, TDS, acceptance attitude and compliance in facing difficulties (P< 0.05), and negatively correlated with self-care compliance (r=-0.35, P< 0.05). Health attitude was positively correlated with VAS, DTI and SXI (P< 0.05). Acceptance attitude was positively correlated with DTI, SXI and TDS (P< 0.05). High RAAQ was associated with high VAS (b= 0.11, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.18), DTI (b= 0.28, 95% CI: 0.17, 0.38), SXI (b= 0.24, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.34) and TDS (b= 0.26, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.4). CONCLUSION The overall performance of dietary compliance in patients with MHD is at a moderate level, and dietary compliance is negatively correlated with disease perception.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemodialysis patients face one of the most difficult diets among clinical patient populations. Furthermore, dialysis dietary adherence is generally reported as low with providers generally lacking the time and resources to implement effective behavior change. The purpose of this study was to elucidate measures of patient and provider engagement with home-delivered medically tailored meals (MTMs). METHODS We surveyed patients and staff at dialysis centers within the Denver metropolitan area. Surveys focused on 1) patient dietary intake, 2) awareness, support, and utilization of meal programs, and 3) nutritional challenges and barriers (including food security). RESULTS We surveyed 118 patients (mean age 61.0 ± 14.2 year, 58.5% male, and dialysis vintage of 4.6 ± 4.9 years) and 26 staff across the included dialysis facilities. Patients were 20.3% White/Non-Hispanic, 35.6% Hispanic/Latin, and 31.4% Black/African American. Most patients reported eating 2 meals per day (N = 53, 44.9%) and 52.2% reported difficulty with following a kidney diet. The most cited reasons for not following the diet were behavioral or knowledge (38.5%), taste (26.3%), time/convenience (26.9%) and food autonomy (16.9%). Sixty participants (52.2%) reported living in a food desert and 26.3% reported food insecurity. Seventy-one patients (61.2%) were aware of MTMs but only 40.5% had been referred. Most (76.9%) dialysis providers were aware of MTMs but only 15 (57.7%) had actually referred patients to such a service. Black individuals were less likely to be referred for MTMs than White or Hispanics/Latin (29.7% vs 48.1% White and 45.0% Hispanic/Latin) individuals. CONCLUSION Medically tailored meals (MTMs) represent a potential method to alleviate or bypass some of the many barriers expressed by patients. Our findings reveal a critical need for education around MTMs for both patients and providers. Medically tailored meals (MTMs) could potentially demonstrate health kidney dietary patterns that might translate to altered dietary preferences or toward future behavior change.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension, defined as rapid decrease in systolic blood pressure of greater than or equal to 20 mmHg or in mean arterial pressure of greater than or equal to 10 mmHg that results in end-organ ischemia and requires countermeasures such as ultrafiltration reduction or saline infusion to increase blood pressure to improve patient's symptoms, is a known complication of hemodialysis and is associated with several potential adverse outcomes. Its pathogenesis is complex and involves both patient-related factors such as age and comorbidities, as well as factors related to the dialysis prescription itself. Key factors include the need for volume removal during hemodialysis and a suboptimal vascular response which compromises the ability to compensate for acute intravascular volume loss. Inadequate vascular refill, incorrect assessment or unaccounted changes of target weight, acute illnesses and medication interference are further potential contributors. Intradialytic hypotension can lead to compromised tissue perfusion and end-organ damage, both acutely and over time, resulting in repetitive injuries. To address these problems, a careful assessment of subjective symptoms, minimizing interdialytic weight gains, individualizing dialysis prescription and adjusting the dialysis procedure based on patients' risk factors can mitigate negative outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the relationships between apathy, depressive symptoms and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Aim of the present study is to investigate the association between IDWG and symptoms of depression and apathy in hemodialysis patients. METHODS A total of 139 chronic patients of the HD units between January 2020 and December 2021 were included in the present cross-sectional study. IDWG was calculated as the difference between the pre-HD weight and the weight registered after the previous session; the average of the sessions in a month was registered. Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES) was adopted to evaluate apathy. Depression was assessed by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS Ninety-three patients had IDWG% ≤ 4 and 46 had an IDWG% > 4. Correlation between IDWG% and BDI as well that between IDWG% and AES were not statistically significant. Median BDI and mean AES did not differ significantly between the groups. In addition, 104 patients had a BDI < 16 and 35 had a BDI ≥ 6. Seventy-five patients had an AES score ≤ 35 and 63 had a AES score > 35. The IDWG (kg) and the IDWG% did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSION IDWG is not associated with symptoms of depression or apathy in hemodialysis patients. Thus, these results may question if the use of behavioral intervention aimed at improving motivation is warranted in the hemodialysis population to reduce the IDWG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of Plasma atherogenic index (AIP) and plasma osmolality (PO) values on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency in patients with chronic renal failure. METHODS The patients with primary AVF between December 2012 and March 2020 with the diagnosis of end-stage renal disease in our clinic were included in the study. The patient data were collected retrospectively in digital medium. Diabetic patients were not included in the study. The Triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), sodium (Na), fasting blood glucose, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) values were found and recorded from the files. AIP and PO were calculated with special formulas. Fistula patency rate in 6th, 12th, and 24th months were evaluated in 2-year follow-ups. RESULTS According to the results of two-year follow-ups of the 162 patients, who underwent primary AVF, 21 (13%) patients were found to have thrombosis in the 6th month, 33 (20.4%) patients in the 12th month; however,141 (87%) and 129 (79.6%) patients actively used AVF in the 6th and 12th months, respectively. The AIP and PO values that were calculated in the patient group with AVF thrombosis were significantly higher (p = 0.001, p < 0.001; respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, Na, BUN, and HDL-C variables were found to be independent predictive factors for AVF thrombosis (OR (Odds Ratio): 1.169, 95% CI (Confidence interval)): 1.056-1.294, p = 0.003; OR: 1.108, 95% CI: 1.043-1.176, p = 0.001; OR: 0.874, 95% CI: 0.820-0.932, p < 0.001; respectively). It was also found that the patency rate was 64.2% (104 patients) in the 24th month. CONCLUSION AIP, PO, Na, and BUN values are positively associated with AVF thrombosis. Checking AIP, Na, and BUN values will be useful in patients with end-term renal failure, who already have difficulties in renal replacement methods and vascular access.

Abstract
Conservative kidney management (CKM) is a treatment option for kidney failure, particularly for the elderly and those with co-morbidities. Dietitians can play an important role in the provision of CKM by enhancing patients' quality of life through the management of nutrition impact symptoms (symptoms that result in decreased eating, including anorexia, nausea, dry mouth, and taste changes), as well as symptoms that result from malnutrition, including fatigue, weakness, activity intolerance, slow wound healing, and low mood. There are many gaps in the literature regarding optimal nutritional recommendations for patients on CKM. More research is needed on symptom management and interventions to delay or slow the progression of malnutrition and frailty. This article provides an overview of important nutritional considerations, a synthesis of the current literature, and recommendations for application of evidence into the practice of CKM.

Effects of Descurainia sophia on Oxidative Stress Markers and Thirst Alleviation in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over Clinical Trial. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2001441. [DOI: 10.1155/2022/2001441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background. Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are regularly exposed to oxidative stress and inflammation and may suffer from thirst distress with no definitive treatment to address these complications. Descurainia sophia (DS) has been used to alleviate thirst in traditional Persian medicine. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of DS on oxidation factors and thirst score in HD patients. Methods. This study was conducted on fifty-three HD patients referred to Tehran Shahid Modarres hospital. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 received DS for six weeks, then underwent four weeks of washout period followed by six weeks of placebo treatment, while group 2 received placebo initially followed by treatment with DS. Biochemistry, malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured in four phases: at the beginning, before washout, after washout, and at the end of the study. The patient’s body weight was recorded at the start of each session to assess interdialytic weight gain. Thirst scores also were measured using a visual analog scale. Results. A total of 53 patients, including 23 (43.4%) male and 30 (56.6%) female subjects, were included in the study. The results showed a reduction in thirst score (
), cholesterol levels (
), triglycerides (0.003), and MDA (
) following the four-week administration of DS treatment in HD patients. The mean levels of TAC were increased (
), and calcium, as well as Na+, remained unchanged (
). Also, a significant decrease in the patient’s weight was observed (
value <0.001). This effect persisted after shifting to a placebo. However, the two groups had no significant difference (
value = 0.539). Conclusion. DS powder-mixed syrup may benefit HD patients by facilitating free radical scavenging and alleviating thirst distress with minimal adverse effects. The seeds could therefore be utilized as a complementary therapy for hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This work aimed to shed light on the notorious debate over the role of an educational/cognitive/behavioral or psychological approach in the reduction of interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients on chronic hemodialysis. METHODS Searches were run from 1975 to January 2022 on Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. The search terms included "hemodialysis/haemodialysis" AND "adherence" AND ("fluid intake" OR "water intake") AND ("weight gain" OR "interdialytic weight gain" OR "IDWG") AND "patient-level interventions. Randomized controlled studies were eligible if they were in English, published in a peer-reviewed journal and regarded adults patients with on chronic hemodialysis for at least 6 months; compared educational/cognitive and/or counseling/behavioral or psychological interventions to no intervention on interdialytic weight gain. Outcome of interest was interdialytic weight gain. The review was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews in Health and Social Care (PROSPERO, ID number CRD42022332401). RESULTS Eighteen studies (1759 patients) were included in the analysis. Compared to the untreated group, educational/cognitive and/or counseling/behavioral interventions significantly reduced interdialytic weight gain with a pooled mean difference of - 0.15 kg (95% CI - 0.26, 30-0.05; P = 0.004). On the other hand, psychological/affective interventions reduced interdialytic weight gain with a pooled mean difference of - 0.26 kg (95% CI - 0.48, - 0.04; P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Educational/cognitive, counseling/behavioral or psychological/affective interventions significantly reduced the interdialytic weight gain in patients on chronic hemodialysis, although such reduction did not appear to be clinically relevant on hard outcomes.

Increased Right Ventricular Pressure as a Predictor of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEART FAILURE 2022; 4:154-162.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Many patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) have reduced vascular compliance and are likely to develop heart failure (HF). This study aimed to determine the factors associated with acute decompensation events among ESRD patients undergoing HD. Methods We retrospectively investigated ESRD patients on HD using a medical record review. We divided the patients into those admitted to hospital due to acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and those who were not. We compared the medical histories, electrocardiograms, and echocardiographic and laboratory data between the two groups. Results Of the 188 ESRD patients on HD, 87 were excluded, and 101 were enrolled (mean age: 63.7 years; 52.1% male). Thirty patients (29.7%) were admitted due to ADHF. These patients exhibited similar left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular (LV) mass index, and E/E′ values compared to the non-ADHF group. However, the ADHF group exhibited significantly higher tricuspid regurgitation (TR) jet velocity (2.9±0.6 vs. 2.5±0.4 m/s; p=0.004) and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) (43.5±17.2 vs. 34.2±9.9 mmHg; p=0.009) than the non-ADHF group, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the TR jet velocity (odds ratio, 8.356; 95% confidence interval, 1.806–38.658; p=0.007) was an independent predictor of ADHF after adjusting for age and sex, while the LVEF and E/E′ were not. Conclusions Our data showed that an increased TR jet velocity was an independent predictor of ADHF events in ESRD patients on HD, but the LVEF and E/E′ were not.

Abstract
Patients on chronic hemodialysis are counseled to reduce dietary sodium intake to limit their thirst and consequent interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), chronic volume overload and hypertension. Low-sodium dietary trials in hemodialysis are sparse and mostly indicate that dietary education and behavioral counseling are ineffective in reducing sodium intake and IDWG. Additional nutritional restrictions and numerous barriers further complicate dietary adherence. A low-sodium diet may also reduce tissue sodium, which is positively associated with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. A potential alternative or complementary approach to dietary counseling is home delivery of low-sodium meals. Low-sodium meal delivery has demonstrated benefits in patients with hypertension and congestive heart failure but has not been explored or implemented in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The objective of this review is to summarize current strategies to improve volume overload and provide a rationale for low-sodium meal delivery as a novel method to reduce volume-dependent hypertension and tissue sodium accumulation while improving quality of life and other clinical outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the content of the diagnostic proposition risk of excessive fluid volume in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHOD Content validity study, with 48 judges who assessed the content of the diagnostic proposition risk of excessive fluid volume, using an electronic data collection instrument. The judges' answers were analyzed through the calculation of the Content Validity Index and the T test. RESULTS The risk of excessive fluid volume was considered adequate, containing 23 risk factors: increased sodium concentration in the dialysate; missing hemodialysis sessions; insufficient water; low self-efficacy for fluid restriction; deficient knowledge; altered body mass index; excessive intake of fluids, proteins and sodium; lower kt/v index; inadequate removal of fluids in hemodialysis; thirst; xerostomia; older people; comorbidities; renal function decline; decreased urinary volume; inflammatory status; hospitalization; low serum level of albumin and lymphocytes, and high level of phosphorus; and use of antihypertensive drugs. CONCLUSION The content of the diagnostic proposition risk of excessive fluid volume was considered adequate by the judges.

Abstract
Adherence to fluid-restriction is a clinical priority in nephrology care. This study examines the effects of a combination of auricular acupressure (AA) and a fluid-restriction adherence program on the salivary flow rate, xerostomia, fluid control, interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), and diet-related quality of life (DQOL) among hemodialysis patients in South Korea. Using a quasi-experimental design, 84 hemodialysis patients were assigned to the experimental group (AA + fluid-restriction adherence program; n = 29), the comparison group (fluid-restriction adherence program; n = 27), and the control group (usual care; n = 28). The program lasted 6 weeks, and data were collected at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 months post-intervention. There was a significant interaction between group and time for salivary flow rate, fluid control, IDWG, and DQOL (all p < 0.005). Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly improved salivary flow rate, fluid control, IDWG, and DQOL at weeks 6 and 22, whereas the comparison group had improved fluid control and DQOL at week 6. The combination of AA and a fluid-restriction adherence program could be provided to hemodialysis patients as cost-effective, safe, and complementary interventions to promote sustainable patient adherence to fluid-restriction.

Abstract
Background Interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is a marker of higher pre-dialysis blood pressure, nutrition, and survival in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, this relationship is incompletely characterized. In this study, we seek to define the association of IDWG/dry weight x100 (IDWG%) on blood pressure (BP), and the nutritional status of an HD population. Material and Methods This study was performed on 300 HD patients. The data was collected over four weeks, including total IDWG, IDWG%, and blood pressure. Normalized protein nitrogen appearance (nPNA), and serum albumin were used as markers of nutritional status. Participants were divided into three groups according to the mean of the IDWG% between two sessions of HD (group A < 3%, group B = 3% - 3.9%, and group C ≥ 4%); they were then compared on various aspects. Student t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and linear regression analysis were used as statistical tools. Results The mean (± standard deviation (SD)) age was 61.7 ± 14.2 years with 57.7% of the patients being male and 42.3% being female. The mean IDWG% for the whole studied population was 3.72% ± 1.73%. Between these three groups, a higher IDWG% was associated with younger males (p = 0.032), lower dry weight (p = 0.009), and longer duration on HD therapy (p = 0.009). IDWG% was directly associated with lower pre-dialysis serum sodium (p = 0.04), higher pre-dialysis serum creatinine (P = 0.002), and lower body mass index (BMI) (p= 0.003). Between these three groups, interdialytic variations in weight gain were not associated with increased BP. There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of nPNA and serum albumin. Conclusions The most important associations of IDWG% are age, weight, pre-dialysis sodium, serum creatinine, and duration of dialysis (months). There was no association between IDWG% and increased systolic BP. IDWG% had no association with nutritional status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the impact of health literacy (HL) on perceived benefits of fluid restriction (PBFR), self-reported fluid restriction (SRFR) and relative-interdialytic weight gain (R-IDWG) in people receiving hemodialysis (HD). METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in two nephrology departments from two hospitals in Guangzhou, China (n = 226). The HL questionnaire, PBFR Subscale of Health Belief Model Constructs and Fluid Adherence Subscale of the HD Patients Therapy Adherence Scale were used. R-IDWG was calculated by the mean IDWG (from 3 consecutive HD), divided by the dry weight. RESULTS In structural equation modeling, three domains of the HL questionnaire, namely Actively Managing My Health, Social Support and Actively Engaging with Healthcare Providers (HCPs), were directly and positively associated with PBFR. Higher Actively Managing My Health predicted higher SRFR both directly and indirectly. Sufficient Social Support and adequate Actively Engaging with HCPs predicted higher SRFR indirectly. All three HL domains predicted R-IDWG indirectly. CONCLUSION Improving patients' HL could increase their understanding of PBFR and be more apt to follow fluid restrictions and reduce R-IDWG. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS A better understanding of the relationships among HL, PBFR, SRFR and R-IDWG will allow for tailored interventions to decrease R-IDWG in people receiving HD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with kidney failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) therapy are routinely counseled to reduce dietary sodium intake to ameliorate sodium retention, volume overload, and hypertension. However, low-sodium diet trials in HD are sparse and indicate that dietary education and behavioral counseling are ineffective in reducing sodium intake. This study aimed to determine whether 4 weeks of low-sodium, home-delivered meals in HD patients reduces interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). Secondary outcomes included changes in dietary sodium intake, thirst, xerostomia, blood pressure, volume overload, and muscle sodium concentration. METHODS Twenty HD patients (55 ± 12 years, body mass index [BMI] 40.7 ± 16.6 kg/m2 ) were enrolled in this study. Participants followed a usual (control) diet for the first 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks of three low-sodium, home-delivered meals per day. We measured IDWG, hydration status (bioimpedance), standardized blood pressure (BP), food intake (3-day dietary recall), and muscle sodium (magnetic resonance imaging) at baseline (0 M), after the 4-week period of usual diet (1 M), and after the meal intervention (2 M). FINDINGS The low-sodium meal intervention significantly reduced IDWG when compared to the control period (-0.82 ± 0.14 kg; 95% confidence interval, -0.55 to -1.08 kg; P < 0.001). There were also 1 month (1 M) to 2 month (2 M) reductions in dietary sodium intake (-1687 ± 297 mg; P < 0.001); thirst score (-4.4 ± 1.3; P = 0.003), xerostomia score (-6.7 ± 1.9; P = 0.002), SBP (-18.0 ± 3.6 mmHg; P < 0.001), DBP (-5.9 ± 2.0 mmHg; P = 0.008), and plasma phosphorus -1.55 ± 0.21 mg/dL; P = 0.005), as well as a 0 M to 2 M reduction in absolute volume overload (-1.08 ± 0.33 L; P = 0.025). However, there were no significant changes in serum or tissue sodium (all P > 0.05). DISCUSSION Low-sodium, home-meal delivery appears to be an effective method for improving volume control and blood pressure in HD patients. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to examine the long-term effects of home-delivered meals on these outcomes and to assess cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The 3-day interdialytic interval (IDI) is associated with high interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), but little is known about the effect of public or religious holidays on IDWG. Consequently, we evaluated the impact of the "Christmas holiday effect" on IDWG of hemodialysis patients. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of adult hemodialysis patients (over 18 years) was conducted across five dialysis units in Australia. Demographic and clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. IDWG was established for three time points; regular 3-day IDI, 2-day IDI preceding the Christmas holiday and a 3-day IDI that included the Christmas holiday. Paired t-tests and logistic regression were used to compare differences in mean IDWG before and after the Christmas holiday and to examine factors associated with high IDWG, respectively. FINDINGS Two hundred and fifty-two patients, 69% of whom were male, with mean (SD) age of 65.4 ± 15.3 years, were studied. Most had end-stage kidney disease due to diabetes (44%), and they had been on hemodialysis for a median of 25.5 (IQR, 60-10) months. There was a significant increase in absolute IDWG (MD 0.21 kg, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.36; P = 0.004) and relative IDWG (MD 0.3%, 95% CI 0.10-0.40; P = 0.01) after the holiday 3-day IDI compared with the regular 3-day IDI. Older age (OR 0.12; 95% CI 0.02-0.55) and a unit increase in hemoglobin (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.89-0.99) were associated with lower odds of high relative IDWG while speaking a language other than English increased the odds for high relative IDWG (OR 5.03; 95% CI 1.12-22.65). CONCLUSION Absolute and relative IDWG increased significantly after the Christmas holiday. Individualizing dialysis needs may improve outcomes for these patients.

Pilot feasibility study examining the effects of a comprehensive volume reduction protocol on hydration status and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Hemodial Int 2020; 24:414-422. [PMID: 32400085 DOI: 10.1111/hdi.12841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2020] [Revised: 04/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic volume overload is a persistent problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of comprehensive volume reduction protocol on HD patient's hydration status and blood pressure (BP). METHODS Twenty-three HD patients (age = 55.7 ± 13.3 years) completed a 6-month comprehensive volume control protocol consisting of: reducing postdialysis weight; reducing BP medication prescriptions; and weekly intradialytic counseling to reduce dietary sodium intake and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). The primary outcome was volume overload (VO) measured by bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Secondary outcomes included: IDWG, postdialysis weight, estimated dry weight (EDW), dietary sodium intake, BP and BP medication prescriptions. FINDINGS From baseline (0M) to 6 months (6M), significant improvements were noted in: VO (0M 3.9 ± 3.9 L vs. 6M 2.6 ± 3.4 L, P = 0.003), postdialysis weight (0M 89.4 ± 23.1 kg vs. 6M 87.6 ± 22.2 kg; P = 0.012), and EDW (0M 89.0 ± 23.2 vs. 6M 86.7 ± 22.5 kg., P = 0.009). There was also a trend for a reduction in monthly averaged IDWG (P = 0.053), and sodium intake (0M 2.9 ± 1.6 vs. 6M 2.3 ± 1.1 g/d, P = 0.125). Neither systolic BP (0M 162 ± 27 vs. 6M 157 ± 23 mmHg, P = 0.405) nor diastolic BP (0M 82 ± 21 vs. 6M 82 ± 19 mmHg, P = 0.960) changed, though there was a significant reduction in the total number of BP medications prescribed (0M 3.0 ± 1.0 vs. 6M 1.5 ± 1.0 BP meds; P = 0.004). DISCUSSION Our volume reduction protocol significantly improved HD patient's hydration status. While BP did not change, the reduction in prescribed BP medication number suggests improved BP control. Despite these overall positive findings, the magnitude of change in most variables was modest. Comprehensive changes in HD clinics may be necessary to realize more clinically significant results.

[PMID: 32100204 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-020-02401-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 02/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Thirst has been defined as "the sensation that leads animal's and human's actions toward the goal of finding and drinking water" or as "any drive that can motivate water intake, regardless of cause". Thirst, together with xerostomia, is the main cause of poor adherence to fluid restriction and of excessive intake of fluids in patients on chronic hemodialysis, and consequently of high interdialytic weight gain. Interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) should be lower than 4.0-4.5% of dry weight. Unfortunately, many patients have an IDWG greater than this value and some have IDWG of 10-20%. High IDWG is associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death and increased morbidity, such as ventricular hypertrophy and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. In addition, high IDWG leads to supplementary weekly dialysis sessions with consequent deterioration of quality of life and increased costs. Thus, the knowledge of thirst in patients on chronic hemodialysis is essential to prompt its adequate management to limit IDWG in the routine clinical practice. The present review aims to describe the physiology of thirst in patients on chronic hemodialysis, as well as the prevalence, its measures, the associated variables, the consequences, and the strategies for its reduction.

Abstract
Introduction: Patients undergoing hemodialysis experience an influence in terms of the biological, psychological, social and spiritual problems that they encounter. In particular, there are biological aspects that affect weight gain between dialysis sessions. In terms of the psychological aspect, there is an influence on emotional vulnerability, such as anxiety, fear and despair. They need family support, especially as part of a couple. This study aimed to determine the relationship between partner support and IDWG in hemodialysis patients.Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 60 hemodialyzed people. The sample was recruited using purposive sampling, resulting in 42 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The study was conducted in a Private Hospital in Surabaya. The independent variable was partner support and the dependent variable was the IDWG in the hemodialysis patient. The data was collected through a questionnaire and it was analyzed using the Spearman test.Results: The results show that there was a relationship between partner support and IDWG hemodialysis patients with p = 0.025 (α ≤0.05).Conclusion: Good partner support reduces the low IDWG in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, determining the level of family support especially that given by a partner of a IDWG hemodialysis patients will positively support better IDWG hemodialysis patients, thus preventing them from the potential side effects of IDWG such as hypotension, muscle cramps, shortness of breath and cardiovascular problems.

Dietary Daily Sodium Intake Lower than 1500 mg Is Associated with Inadequately Low Intake of Calorie, Protein, Iron, Zinc and Vitamin B1 in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12010260. [PMID: 31963892 PMCID: PMC7019794 DOI: 10.3390/nu12010260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2019] [Revised: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: To measure daily sodium intake in patients on chronic hemodialysis and to compare the intake of nutrients, minerals, trace elements, and vitamins in patients who had a daily sodium intake below or above the value of 1500 mg recommended by the American Heart Association. Methods: Dietary intake was recorded for 3 days by means of 3-day diet diaries in prevalent patients on chronic hemodialysis. Each patient was instructed by a dietitian on how to fill the diary, which was subsequently signed by a next of kin. Results: We studied 127 patients. Mean sodium intake (mg) was 1295.9 ± 812.3. Eighty-seven (68.5%) patients had a daily sodium intake <1500 mg (group 1) and 40 (31.5%) ≥ 1500 mg (group 2). Correlation between daily sodium intake and daily calorie intake was significant (r = 0.474 [0.327 to 0.599]; p < 0.0001). Daily calorie intake (kcal/kg/day) was lower in group 1 (21.1 ± 6.6; p = 0.0001) than in group 2 (27.1 ± 10.4). Correlation between daily sodium intake and daily protein intake was significant (r = 0.530 [0.392 to 0.644]; p < 0.0001). The daily protein intake (grams/kg/day) was lower in group 1 (0.823 ± 0.275; p = 0.0003) than in group 2 (1.061 ± 0.419). Daily intake of magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and selenium was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2. Daily intake of vitamin A, B2, B3, and C did not differ significantly between group 1 and group 2. Daily intake of vitamin B1 was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2. Significantly lower was, in group 1 than in group 2, the percentage of patients within the target value with regard to intake of calories (11.5% vs. 37.5%; p = 0.001) and proteins (9.2% vs. 27.5%; p = 0.015) as well as of iron (23% vs. 45%; p = 0.020), zinc (13.8% vs. 53.8%; p = 0.008) and vitamin B1 (8.1% vs. 50%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: A low daily intake of sodium is associated with an inadequately low intake of calorie, proteins, minerals, trace elements, and vitamin B1. Nutritional counselling aimed to reduce the intake of sodium in patients on chronic hemodialysis should not disregard an adequate intake of macro- and micronutrients, otherwise the risk of malnutrition is high.
