Abstract
Residual renal function (RRF) in hemodialysis (HD) patients has been the focus of multiple studies evaluating its impact on patient outcomes and relationship with the use of diuretics. The CHOICE study showed self-reported RRF was associated with better survival and quality of life, and a DOPPS study demonstrated the use of diuretics was associated with lower interdialytic weight gain.1,2 Similar findings were reported by Sibbel et al. in patients using furosemide after initiation of HD with lower rates of hospitalization, intradialytic hypotension and lower interdialytic weight gain compared to those who did not use diuretics3.
