Abstract
Dialysis-associated hypotension is a morbid problem in haemodialysis patients. Employment of midodrine at the start of dialysis has reduced the severity and frequency of hypotensive episodes in these patients. Through selective α1-adrenergic receptor-binding, desglymidodrine, the active metabolite of midodrine, raises blood pressure by enhancing venous and arterial tone. This medication has been demonstrated to be effective and safe in the acute and chronic treatment of haemodialysis-associated hypotension in end stage renal disease patients.
