Meanwhile, a one to one interview was done to evaluate the accuracy of patient′s diet diary and the knowledge and behavior of low salt diet and find out related factors of salt intake. Results The average salt intake was (6.49 ± 1.64)g/d. The average composition rate in the low salt diet knowledge in low salt diet behavior was 51.00% and 47.00% respectively. Age and education level were the influencing factors of salt intake. Conclusions The average salt intake is much higher than the standard for the patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
