Intradialytic blood pressure variability: prevalence, predictors, and consequences among hemodialysis patients and its relationship with sleep disorders
Cross-sectional study shows significant blood pressure variability in hemodialysis patients, highlighting predictors like sleep disorders and ultrafiltration.
Key Points
Significant blood pressure variability occurs in 59.6% of hemodialysis patients, indicating a need for better management.
Higher ultrafiltration amounts and elevated plasma potassium levels are associated with blood pressure variability during dialysis.
Intradialytic hypertension links to lower platelet counts and the presence of sleep disorders, complicating patient care.
The study emphasizes comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions to better manage blood pressure in hemodialysis patients.
