Monitoring fluid intake and weight gain after hemodialysis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between fluid intake and interdialytic weight gain in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Approximately 20 participants will self-monitor their weight and blood pressure during the week between dialysis sessions. They will complete questionnaires and use medical-grade scales and blood pressure monitors to log their measurements four times daily. The study seeks to understand how fluid loss during hemodialysis affects thirst and subsequent fluid intake.
