CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that while the available evidence suggests that psychological interventions to improve adherence to fluid restrictions in haemodialysis patients may have some clinical benefits, the validity of this finding is uncertain given its reliance on a diverse group of generally small, poor-quality studies. Overall, the authors' cautious conclusions appear reasonable.
