Core Tip	Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in hemodialysis, while residual diuresis and increased body mass index (BMI) are associated with better survival. We found that an elevated BMI > 30 associated positively with higher diuresis, insulin levels and albuminemia. This higher urinary output dialysis individuals with BMI > 30%, may reflect water retention, in part due to hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia and secondary higher ultrafiltation rates. The ability to excrete water correlates negatively and significantly with Troponin T and Pro-BNP levels, reflecting lower myocardial and vascular overload. High BMI-associated better survival may be explained by better diuresis, and lower cardiovascular stress.
