Fluid restriction in dialysis patients is applied to prevent excess fluid accumulation in the body and to reduce health issues caused by impaired kidney function. Since the kidneys cannot remove fluids effectively, excess fluid can lead to edema, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart failure.
When implementing fluid restriction, the daily intake amount should be determined by a doctor. A personalized fluid consumption plan is created based on the patient's overall health condition, dialysis frequency, and fluid balance.
Fluid intake is not limited to just water. Soup, fruit juice, tea, coffee, and even certain fruits and vegetables also contribute to fluid intake. Therefore, all consumed foods should be considered when calculating daily fluid intake.
Reducing salt consumption is an important factor in fluid restriction. Excessive salt intake can cause thirst, leading to increased fluid consumption. Avoiding salty foods helps keep fluid intake under control.
Following the recommended fluid intake guidelines improves the effectiveness of dialysis treatment.
