Abstract
High interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is considered as an indicator of noncompliance but could also be interpreted as an index of appetite. This study was designed to investigate the relationship IDWG with malnutrition and mortality risk in hemodialysis (HD) patients through a follow-up of 24 months. We divided HD patients into two groups according to their IDWG as Group I (IDWGppppp<0.03). Group I individuals with low albumin levels had the worst survival rate (57.1%). In conclusion there is a strong association of IDWG with nutritional parameters in HD patients. Our study draws attention for a possible risk of developing malnutrition in a HD patient with low IDWG.Keywords
