Diuretic Use Among Hemodialysis Patients in Lebanon: A Multicenter Observational Retrospective Study
This study reveals suboptimal dosing despite a relatively high prevalence of utilization of diuretics among hemodialysis patients. Most hemodialysis parameters and clinical outcomes do not differ between diuretic users and nonusers. Higher diuretic doses are associated with improved clinical outcomes, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize dosing practices in this population.
