Summary: This study confirms that transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) has a significant improvement on xerostomia symptoms and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in hemodialysis patients. A TEAS program can be used to manage symptoms for xerostomia patients who undergo hemodialysis.

Summary: Xerostomia and hyposalivation are common in hemodialysis patients, leading to increased fluid intake. Factors such as age, CRP levels, low plasma osmolarity, and pill burden were independently associated with high interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in nondiabetic HD patients. The prevalence of xerostomia and thirst was higher in HD patients with high IDWG compared to those with normal IDWG.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between hemodialysis (HD) patients' subjective thirst and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). The findings suggest a positive association between patients' subjective thirst and IDWG. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting the results due to variability in thirst and IDWG measurement techniques.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and symptoms of depression and apathy in hemodialysis patients. The results show that there is no significant correlation between IDWG and symptoms of depression or apathy, suggesting that behavioral interventions to reduce IDWG may not be necessary in this population.

Summary: In this study on dialysis patients, subjective thirst was found to be more common in younger individuals and those reporting higher levels of distress, but had no direct association with interdialytic weight gains (IDWGs), dietary sodium intake, or dialysate sodium.

Summary: The study found that most participants did not adhere adequately to fluid intake restrictions. Factors such as self-efficacy, gender, educational background, and urine output were strongly correlated with intradialytic weight gain.

Summary: This study compares the effects of low and standard dialysate sodium concentrations on interdialytic weight gain and blood pressure in children and young adults on hemodialysis. The results show that a lower dialysate sodium concentration is associated with a significant reduction in interdialytic weight gain. Further long-term studies are needed to investigate the effect of lowering dialysate sodium concentration on blood pressure.

Summary: This study explored the impact of health literacy on perceived benefits of fluid restriction, self-reported fluid restriction, and relative-interdialytic weight gain in people receiving hemodialysis. The results indicated that improving patients' health literacy could increase their understanding of the benefits of fluid restriction and lead to better adherence to fluid restrictions, ultimately reducing relative-interdialytic weight gain.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of educational/cognitive/behavioral or psychological interventions on interdialytic weight gain in patients on chronic hemodialysis. The results showed that these interventions significantly reduced interdialytic weight gain, but the clinical relevance of this reduction was limited.

Summary: In this study on 300 HD patients, higher IDWG% was associated with younger age, lower dry weight, lower pre-dialysis sodium, higher pre-dialysis serum creatinine, and longer duration on HD therapy. However, no association was found between IDWG% and increased blood pressure or nutritional status.

Summary: Sodium and ultrafiltration profiling are methods used to adjust dialysate sodium concentration and ultrafiltration rate to improve hemodynamic stability during hemodialysis. However, complications such as increased interdialytic weight gain and thirst due to sodium excess have limited the widespread use of sodium profiling. Further clinical investigation is needed to determine the optimal method of sodium profiling and the utility of sodium/ultrafiltration profiling in routine practice.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and speed of fluid removal on cardiac markers. The results showed a correlation between higher ultrafiltration-rate during dialysis and increased levels of cardiac markers. The data suggest that limiting fluid intake and reducing ultrafiltration-rate may be recommended to prevent cardiac injury during dialysis.

Summary: This study revealed a gradual activation of sympathetic nerve activity in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis, which can be measured through heart rate variability and skin sympathetic nerve activity. Lower skin sympathetic nerve activity at the end of hemodialysis and loss of correlation between heart rate and skin sympathetic nerve activity were observed in overhydrated patients.

Summary: The study found that blood pressure trends in haemodialysis patients are influenced by volume status and small solutes variation. Peridialytic systolic blood pressure decline is mainly driven by changes in serum sodium concentration, with volume status having minimal impact. Middle-aged and overweight patients are particularly susceptible to blood pressure decline.
