Introduction: Hypertension: Hypertension is defined as an increase in blood pressure (BP). Hypertension isa common cause in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Intradialytic hypertension (IDH): IDH is defined the BP values from pre to post dialysis session exceedingBP values during dialysis onset. An increase in systolic blood pressure >10mmHg is considered as IDH.Aim ·To study the intradialytic hypertension in patients undergoing hemodialysis in Kasturba hospitalManipal.Objective: ·To determine the prevalence of intradialytic hypertension in patients undergoing hemodialysisin Kasturba hospital Manipal.Methodology: ·Study area: Kasturba HospitalManipal· Study population: out patients undergoinghemodialysis· Study duration: 3 months· Study design: prospective· Inclusion criteria:Ø End Stage Renal Disease patientsØ Age above 21 year· Exclusion criteria:Ø Acute Kidney Injury patientsØ ICU patientsØ Post transplant patientsØ Catheter patients· Sample size:n=Z²1-a/2pq Level of significance a=0.005(ep) ²Z1-a/2= 1.96, e(relative precision) = 0.10Anticipated proportion, p= 0.7, q=1-p= 0.3Sample size: 165Result:·A study was conducted on 165 subjectswho were undergoing hemodialysis. Out of 165subjects 135 patients (81.8%) had intradialytichypertension and 30 patients (18.2%) withoutintradialytic hypertension.A study was conducted on 165 patients whowere undergoing hemodialysis. Out of 165subjects 2 female patients (4.9%), male 28(22.6%) without intradialytic hypertension and39 (95.1%), 96 (77.4%) males.Conclusions: In this study the prevalence ofIDH episodes was seen more in female patients(95.1%) than in male patients (77.4%) and outof 165 patients 135 patients had IDH and 30patients without IDH
