Abstract

Being afraid of inadequate dialysis, thrice-weekly HD has been regarded as a standard renal replacement therapy (RRT) for ESRD patients [1]. Nevertheless, twice-weekly HD remains prevalent in the developing countries and also could be found in some developed countries [2,3]. Thus far, scarce data are available for the clinical outcomes, especially intradialytic hypotension (IDH), of twice-weekly HD patients. Few studies have used a rigorous definition of IDH according to the European Best Practice Guidelines (EBPG), which defines as both a fall blood pressure and the occurrence of symptoms requiring an intervention [4].
