A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SHORT-TERM BP VARIABILITY IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT INTRADIALYTIC HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Objective:Short-term BP variability (BPV) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis. Patients with intradialytic hypertension have high risk of adverse outcomes and increased BPV may be an involved mechanism. This is the first study comparing short-term BPV in patients with an
