Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a public health problem worldwide. Excessive interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is usually related to an overload of sodium and water. Higher IDWG is associated with higher predialysis blood pressure and increased mortality. Analytical descriptive research was conducted on 99 CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis at Dr. Ramelan Naval Central Hospital, Surabaya. Data obtained from medical records. Descriptive analysis was performed by calculating the mean and standard deviation, and determining the relationship between IDWG and mortality in patients undergoing routine hemodialysis. The mean IDWG (kg) of patients was 2.07±1.42. The incidence of patient deaths was nine patients. There was no relationship between IDWG and mortality in patients undergoing routine hemodialysis (p=0.70; r=-0.04). There is no relationship between IDWG and mortality in patients undergoing routine hemodialysis.
