Effects of Intensified Sodium Management in Hemodialysis Patients

A Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled and Prospective Pilot Study on the Effects of Intensified Sodium Management on Hospitalization in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients.

• Status: Withdrawn
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 0 (actual)
• Sponsor: Renal Research Institute · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether intensive sodium management by dietary sodium restriction and by preventing positive sodium balance during dialysis can be successfully applied in chronic hemodialysis patients. Secondary aims are to test if sodium restriction has positive effects on the frequency of hospital admissions, blood pressure, fluid overload, quality of life and residual renal function.

Conditions

• Renal Failure Chronic Requiring Hemodialysis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	intensive sodium management	1. dietary sodium restriction 2. avoiding positive sodium balance during dialysis by: aligning dialysate sodium with plasma sodium, avoiding sodium profiling, and avoiding saline solutions to treat intradialytic symptoms
