The Correlation of Long Term Hemodialysis and Inter Dyalisis Weight Gain (IDWG) in CKD Patients

Abstract

CKD patients have kidney damage and their function is replaced using hemodialysis. An indicator of the success of hemodialysis patients in managing fluids is control weight gain, known as Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG). The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of long term hemodialysis and Inter Dyalisis Weight Gain (IDWG) in CKD Patients. Correlation analytic research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all patients undergoing hemodialysis at RSU Dr. Soeroto Ngawi. Sampling technique consecutive sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 42 people. The research instrument used an observation sheet. Data analysis using Spearman Rho test. The results showed that most of the respondents underwent hemodialysis < 12 months, namely 26 people (62%), for hemodialysis 3-4 hours, 42 respondents (100%), and most of the respondents experienced IDWG which could not be tolerated, namely 30 people (71.5%). The results of the Spearman Rho test showed that p-value = 0.000 so that H1 was accepted, meaning that there was a correlation between the length of time undergoing hemodialysis and duration of HD with Interdyalitic Weight Gain (IDWG) at Dr. Soeroto Ngawi General Hospital, meaning that the longer you undergo hemodialysis, the lower the IDWG value or the more tolerated the IDWG value. It is expected that patient seek as much information as possible from health workers, especially regarding fluid restriction diets and related to increasing IDWG so that fluid intake is more controlled, trying to control food and drinks so that fluid intake is maintained and IDWG can be tolerated.
