Interdialytic weight gain of less than 2.5% seems to limit cardiac damage during hemodialysis.

CONCLUSION: Hemodialysis, independent of type of dialyzer storage, was associated with raised cardiac biomarkers, more profoundly in patients with higher pre-dialysis values and IDWG. A limitation in IDWG to <2.5% and prolonged ultrafiltration time may limit cardiac strain during HD, especially in patients with cardiovascular risk.
