Brief description Concerns the delivery of haemodialysis may be contributing to sodium retention and poor outcomes has led many health services to modify practice. However this modification is occurring in an unmeasured and haphazard manner leaving the impact unknown. This simple, pragmatic research will generate definitive evidence on the effect of health service dialysate sodium practices on the key clinical outcomes of death and cardiovascular events as well as health service utilisation.
