Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is one of the most frequent1,2 and worrying issues in chronic hemodialysis.3,4 Systolic blood pressure (BP) <90 mm Hg has the strongest association with mortality in patients receiving chronic kidney replacement therapy (CKRT).3 IDH results from the combination of excessive ultrafiltration rate, membrane bio-incompatibility, and inappropriate hemodynamic response (heart rate and contractility, vascular tone).5 Modulation of the dialysate composition can improve tolerance, but standard bicarbonate dialysis remains associated with frequent IDH in patients at high risk.
