Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are:

The acceptable range for interdialytic weight gains is typically considered to be between 3% to 5% of the patient's estimated dry weight (EDW). This percentage is crucial for ensuring that fluid management during hemodialysis is effective, as excessive weight gain can indicate fluid overload, potentially leading to complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular issues, and difficulty in dialysis adequacy. Keeping weight gains within this range helps maintain optimal health and reduces the risk of complications related to dialysis treatment.

Weight gains beyond this range, such as 6% to 7% or higher options, may not be ideal, as they can increase the burden on the heart and other organs when excess fluid is present during dialysis sessions. Therefore, adhering to the 3% to 5% limit is an important practice in the care of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
