Interdialytic weight gain is used as a surrogate for volume expansion in haemodialysis patients and as an indicator of non-compliance. Increased weight gain is associated with both a greater mortality risk and better nutrition indices. This analysis characterizes the association between dialysis-related volume expansion and mortality in the context of its interaction with nutritional surrogates.
