MOLINA MEJIAS, Patricia et al. Effect of intake on blood volume during hemodialysis session. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.1, pp.43-47. ISSN 2255-3517.

Introduction: Nurse's angle, we appear if the patients can consume food or not during the hemodialysis sessions. Objective: With this study we propose to evaluate the haemodynamic effect of overall intake in hemodialysis sessions in relation with the blood volume and blood pressure decreased. Material and method: This was a prospective, observational, cross-sectional study. There were 22 chronic hemodialysis patients. We collected information during three consecutive dialysis sessions valuing the haemodynamic effect depending on overall intake. Results: The maximum average fall of blood volume was 12 % and the fall of blood volume related to the overall intake was 3.5 %. We didn't find relation of major fall of blood volume or blood pressure with the type of overall intake during the session, nor the ingested quantity. No patient presented episode of hypotension related to overall intake, so we didn't find statistically significant differences. Conclusion: We conclude the study observing that overall intake during the haemodialysis produces a fall of blood volume in the majority of the patients but without haemodynamic effect.
