Antihypertensive use and risk of intradialytic hypotension in hospitalized end-stage renal disease patients

Abstract

Methods: In this single-center, retrospective study, adult hospitalized patients with end-stage renal disease requiring HD during a 2-year evaluation period were divided into IDH and non-IDH cohorts based on the occurrence of IDH during HD. AHT and nitrate use within twelve hours prior to each HD session was compared. The association between the development of IDH and serum albumin, pre-HD blood pressure, serum sodium, and ultrafiltration rate during HD was also evaluated.
