    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis.
    • Addressing challenges in fluid management and interdialytic weight gain.

    Observation:

    • Patient DK is on maintenance hemodialysis with relative clinical stability.
    • Interdialytic weight gains are intermittently excessive, requiring patient support for fluid intake moderation.
    • Intradialytic weight loss is capped at 1 kg/hr due to potential congestive heart failure risks.

    Findings:

    • Gradual behavioral changes in fluid management have been observed with ongoing support.
    • Patient's sons are cooperative but desire to maintain patient independence.
    • Family conference with the healthcare team has not yet occurred.
