“…These studies showed mixed results, but it is important to note that plasma AVP levels were generally measured after intradialytic hypotension instead of during intradialytic hypotension. In addition, in these eight studies a total of five different definitions of intradialytic hypotension were used [21,29,34,47,60], whereas in three studies no definition was provided at all [2,45,48]. In some of these studies it was found that plasma AVP levels were higher after intradialytic hypotension had occurred [45,48,60], whereas others found no difference in plasma AVP levels between patients with and without intradialytic hypotension [47], or only observed higher AVP levels when intradialytic hypotension was accompanied by nausea [29].…”
