Tool box of interventions to improve fluid management in hemodialysis (HD) patients. When choosing one of the tools, and especially when altering dialysate sodium concentration (Nad), hemodynamic response to the changes needs to be carefully monitored for risk-benefit assessment. Abbreviations: HTN, hypertension; IDWG, interdialytic weight gain; Na, plasma sodium.
