Blood pressure during the interdialytic period in haemodialysis patients: estimation of representative blood pressure values

Abstract: The estimation of representative blood pressure (BP) levels is difficult in haemodialysis (HD) patients as it is not known whether pre- or postdialytic blood pressure are predictive for the average interdialytic BP. Furthermore, the day-night BP rhythm can be disturbed in HD patients. Therefore, in this study, BP was measured during the interdialytic period using non-invasive ambulatory BP measurements in four hypotensive, six normotensive, and 12 hypertensive HD patients. It was assessed whether pre- or postd… Show more

“…However, postdialysis BP may correlate best with mean interdialytic BP assessed by ambulatory BP monitoring (32). In our study, HR for postdialysis SBP above the referent category tended to be higher than the corresponding predialysis values, suggesting that hypertension postdialysis may be a stronger predictor of mortality compared with predialysis hypertension.…”

“…However, as many as 78% achieved the diastolic target of 90 mm Hg. This is in keeping with other reports of poor BP control on dialysis [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. There is thus room for improvement, especially since relatively few antihypertensive drugs were prescribed in our patients (1.7 ± 0.8) and in view of the fact that to achieve optimum reduction in cardiovascular risk, even lower target BPs may be advisable [19, 20].…”

“…For example, in the UK, only 41% of the haemodialysis patients under the age of 60 years from units contributing to the Renal Registry achieved the recommended standard of <140/90 mm Hg, and 60% of those over 60 achieved the standard of <160/90 mm Hg; the corresponding figures for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were 51 and 69% [5]. This is in keeping with other published reports of BP control in patients on renal replacement treatment [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. …”

“…One study demonstrated that post-HD systolic BP correlated better with interdialytic ABP than pre-HD systolic BP did in 22 subjects (16). An important limitation of that study is the low prevalence of HTN (mean systolic ABP was 129), thus the findings cannot be generalized to interpreting HD-unit BP in the context of HTN management.…”
