The absence of this restriction will lead to accumulated fluid which can result in edema around the body. This condition may cause increased blood pressure and aggravated heart work. In addition, asphyxia can also occur due to the accumulated fluid. This research aimed to figure out the differences and the correlation between hemodialysis patients obedience towards fluid intake restriction and the continuation of hemodialysis experience in PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.
