This study is looking at how much weight dialysis patients gain between their regular treatments and how this relates to fluid intake over time. Researchers want to understand the pattern of weight and blood pressure changes during the days between dialysis sessions. This information could help doctors better manage fluid and blood pressure in dialysis patients.
Dialysis patients often struggle with fluid buildup between treatments, which can affect their blood pressure and overall health. Researchers want to learn more about when and how this happens so they can develop better strategies to help patients manage their fluid intake.

You will visit the study site once to answer four questionnaires and receive a medical-grade scale and blood pressure monitor. Then, for one week starting after one dialysis session, you will measure your weight four times daily (upon waking, midday, evening, and bedtime) and take your blood pressure three times at each of those same four times, recording everything in a logbook. The whole study lasts about one week.
