Would you consider reducing the dialysate sodium concentration to 135 meq/L as a strategy to decrease interdialytic weight gain in a hypervolemic ESKD patient?

Yes. It is worth a try. I don't expect miracles though. It may make a minor difference. The best option remains longer and more frequent dialysis if possible and agreeable with the patient which is often not the case.
