If fluid volume is high it will drive thirst to dilute the the sodium level of the body's fluid. What is the body's response if it has too little fluid/ it wants to concentrate the fluid to raise the sodium level. What is you have no or little output? What symptoms manifest?

There is the treatment burden and the disease burden - to often people accept dialysis treatment burdens as inescapable CKD5 burdens eg washout, dietary restrictions ... it doesn't have to be that way #dialysis

We should all walk a mile in our patients’ shoes: “The work that patients do to manage their health often remains invisible to health professionals, who only see the results (eg, attended exercise programme, achieved weight loss, glucose measurement log”

@GrahamAbra @RPANephrology Over 50 years ago, Dr. Belding Scribner said, "If the treatment of chronic uremia cannot fully rehabilitate the patient, the treatment is inadequate."

In 2018, there are still no renal rehabilitation programs in the United States. The RPA white paper also fails to address this.

#FlashBackFriday w/ this historic image of Clyde Shields, who in March 1960 became the first person in the world to receive #dialysis on an ongoing basis. He received the first Scribner shunt, a breakthrough dialysis delivery method developed in #Seattle. #FBF #kidney #ckd #renal

[Puget Sound Kidney @PSKC_cares]

And to think of all the people who have received dialysis since then! #kidneydisease #ESRD #kidneycare
