Sweet Jesus, are you for real? Sodium intake leads to water retention.
Kidneys that don't function no longer get rid of that fluid so it sits
around until dialysis time. The heart has to work harder to pump the
extra fluid as expanded blood volume. You cannot *not* know this.
*Somebody* damn well told you to restrict your sodium intake. Don't
play dumb.

Carmen is right about this. People on dialysis are supposed to stay
away from salt 100%.
To do less could kill them.

Hi Barbara. It's been a while lady! Lots of people I haven't seen in
a while are turning up. :-)

This one (mdginzo) has me just shaking my head. Susan has posted a
link for studies on higher BG levels (levels he finds acceptable)
leading to neuropathy. The sodium restriction for hemodialysis
patients is just a basic level knowledge thing. It's bad form to
crosspost this subthread to alt.support.diabetes, otherwise I'd do it.
Mark needs to be over there.
