Hemodialysis-associated hypertension: Pathophysiology and therapy

Relationship Between Interdialytic Weight Gain and Blood Pressure Among Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients

“…2,10,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Although total body volume overload likely has a significant role in hypertension in patients with ESRD, the association between day-to-day volume intake (reflected by IDWG) and BP is less clear. Whereas the available epidemiological evidence suggested that moderate hypertension likely was well tolerated in hemodialysis patients, 5,9,11,12,21 the relationship between BP and outcomes is confounded by such factors as day-to-day variations in fluid intake that are associated with nutritional status and subsequent clinical outcomes.…”

Hypertension in Pediatric Long-term Hemodialysis Patients in the United States

“…H ypertension is present in 50% to 90% of adults receiving long-term dialysis therapy and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population (1)(2)(3). Although cardiovascular disease is increasingly identified as a cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric long-term dialysis patients, few data are available regarding the distribution of BP and the prevalence of hypertension in a large pediatric long-term dialysis population, or regarding whether treated hypertension is adequately controlled (4 -10).…”

Impact of Hemocontrol on Hypertension, Nursing Interventions, and Quality of Life

“…However, all were done using BP measured in HD units, and none used ambulatory or home BP measurements, as recommended by several authors (1,23). In a crossover study of eight patients, Santoro et al (12) demonstrated an improvement in the predialysis to postdialysis SBP variation with HC.…”
