Effects of Interdialytic Weight Gain on Lung Function Tests in Hemodialyzed Patients

Abstract: Complications of respiratory system in patients suffering from chronic renal failure who are treated with regular haemodialysis are well known. However, the effects of interdialytic weight gain on respiratory function in these patients are less known. Hence, this study was designed with the aim to determine the potential differences in spirometry related to the different interdialytic weight gain.

“…In patients with CKD, a progressive decline in pulmonary function correlates with declining in GFR and the impairment of spirometric function in patients with renal insufficiency is continual with reduction of GFR (15) .The progressive decline in kidney function assessed by GFR suggests some decline in pulmonary function associated with deteriorating kidney function that could explain the significant improvement in FEV1 levels after hemodialysis through improvement in small airways edema associated with CKD (16) .…”
