Abstract

Objective: Sodium may accumulate in subcutaneous tissue without any osmotic (non-osmotic) effect. There are insufficient data on non-osmotic sodium mechanisms in hemodialysis patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum vascular endothelial growth factor-C levels, interdialytic weight gain, and salt intake in hemodialysis patients.
