The daily fluid limit for dialysis patients — typically 500-1,000 ml plus urine output — to prevent fluid overload between sessions.
Between hemodialysis sessions, fluid accumulates because the kidneys produce little or no urine. Guidelines target interdialytic weight gain under 3-5% of dry weight. Fluid allowance is typically 500-1,000 ml/day plus residual urine output. All liquids count: water, tea, soup, ice, and high-water foods (watermelon, cucumber) partially count. The Fluid Restriction Calculator helps patients track the daily budget.
Excess extracellular fluid volume in kidney patients from inadequate excretion, causing edema, hypertension, pulmonary congestion, and increased cardiovascular risk.
The target body weight of a dialysis patient after all excess fluid has been removed — the weight at which blood pressure is normal without medication.
The process of removing excess fluid from a patient's blood during dialysis by applying pressure across the dialyzer membrane.
The weight gained between dialysis sessions from fluid and salt intake - kept below ~3% of dry weight to protect the heart.
The eating plan for dialysis patients - higher protein (1.2 g/kg/day) with tight potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and fluid control.
