Fluid & electrolytes
The intake of fluid and electrolytes for a dialysis- dependent patient should be adjusted for losses.
A typical replacement regime might include:
- 750 ml water / day
- 60 mmol sodium / day
- 60 mmol potassium / day
Sodium bicarbonate (up to 1.8 g t.d.s.) may reverse any acidosis and increase GFR; often this intervention is limited by the large sodium load.
