Evaluation of demographic and clinical risk factors for high interdialytic weight gain.
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis 2021 September 18
Xerostomia and hyposalivation are highly prevalent in hemodialysis (HD) patients and this is effective in increased fluid intake. The aim of this study is to determine the demographic and clinical risk factors associated with high interdialytic weight gain in non-diabetic HD patients. In total, 52 eligible hemodialysis patients were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to % IDWG: Group 1: High IDWG (≥3%) and group 2: normal IDWG (<3%). Plasma osmolarity (POsm), unstimulated salivary flow rate (USFR), xerostomia inventory (XI), and Dialysis Thirst Inventory (DTI) were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 53.7 ± 15.7 years. The prevalence of xerostomia was 53.8%, and hyposalivation was in 40.3% in the patients. High IDWG was positively correlated with XI and DTI while it was negatively correlated with POsm and USFR. The area under the ROC curve for POsm for high IDWG was 0.661, with sensitivity of 63.8% and specificity of 72.7% for a cut-off point of 297.4 mOsm/L. Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age odds ratio (OR: 1.215, p=0.019), pill burden (OR: 1.162, p=0.031), CRP (OR: 1.308, p=0.042), and low POsm (OR: 0.768, p=0.046) were independently related to high IDWG. The prevalence of xerostomia and thirst was higher in HD patients with high IDWG compared to the normal IDWG group. Age, CRP, low POsm, and pill burden were independently associated with high IDWG.
