“…It has been estimated that more than 700,000 Americans have ESRD [2]. In Malaysia, increase in ESRD was largely driven by the increasing incidence of diabetic kidney disease accounting for 58% of new patients accepted for dialysis [3]. Similarly, CKD is rapidly growing in Pakistan due to increasing number of patients with diabetes and high blood pressure, late diagnosis, and high volume of kidney stone disease leading to death of about 20,000 Pakistanis every year [4].…”

Background. Hemodialysis related hemodynamic instability is a major but an underestimated issue. Moreover, cardiovascular events are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality associated with blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. However, there have been many controversies regarding the role and management of hyper- and/or hypotension during hemodialysis that needs to be addressed. Objective. To critically review the available published data on the atypical role of hyper- and/or hypotension in cardiovascular associated morbidity and mortality in patients on hemodialysis and to understand the discrepancies in this context. Methods. A comprehensive search of literature employing electronic as well as manual sources and screening 2783 papers published between Jan 1980 and Oct 2015 was conducted to collect, identify, and analyze relevant information through peer-reviewed research articles, systematic reviews, and other published works. The cardiovascular events, including accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and stress induced myocardial dysfunction, leading to death were considered relevant. Results. A total of 23 published articles met the inclusion criteria and were included for in-depth review and analysis to finalize a comprehensive systematic review article. All the studies showed a significant association between the blood pressure and cardiovascular disease events in hemodialysis patients. Conclusions. Both intradialytic hypertension/hypotension episodes are major risk factors for cardiovascular mortality with a high percentage of probable causality; however, clinicians are faced with a dilemma on how to evaluate blood pressure and treat this condition.

“…The cost of dialysis therapy can be prohibitively expensive especially for those who are of poor socioeconomic status. Only 22% of the 25,688 dialysis patients in 2011 are capable of self‐funding . The remaining 78% obtain financial assistance either from the government, social security organization, religious, or charity groups.…”

There is a growing interest to use quality of life as one of the dialysis outcome measurement. Based on the Malaysian National Renal Registry data on 15 participating sites, 1569 adult subjects who were alive at December 31, 2012, aged 18 years old and above were screened. Demographic and medical data of 1332 eligible subjects were collected during the administration of the short form of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) in Malay, English, and Chinese language, respectively. The primary objective is to evaluate the quality of life among dialysis patients using WHOQOL-BREF. The secondary objective is to examine significant factors that affect quality of life score. Mean (SD) transformed quality of life scores were 56.2 (15.8), 59.8 (16.8), 58.2 (18.5), 59.5 (14.6), 61.0 (18.5) for (1) physical, (2) psychological, (3) social relations, (4) environment domains, and (5) combined overall quality of life and general health, respectively. Peritoneal dialysis group scored significantly higher than hemodialysis group in the mean combined overall quality of life and general health score (63.0 vs. 60.0, P< 0.001). Independent factors that were associated significantly with quality of life score in different domains include gender, body mass index, religion, education, marital status, occupation, income, mode of dialysis, hemoglobin, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, cerebral vascular accident and leg amputation. Subjects on peritoneal dialysis modality achieved higher combined overall quality of life and general health score than those on hemodialysis. Religion and cerebral vascular accident were significantly associated with all domains and combined overall quality of life and general health.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Although arterial hypertension is such an important disease, and although China is the largest nation, relatively little has been known about the prevalence and the associated factors of arterial hypertension in the Chinese population. 6,[8][9][10][11][12][13] In a previous investigation, Gu and colleagues from the International Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular Disease in ASIA found a prevalence of arterial hypertension of about 27% for the adult Chinese population with an age of 35+ years.…”

These survey results underscore the fact that hypertension is highly prevalent, relatively poorly treated, and an escalating health challenge in China. As in other studies, people in metropolitan areas had the highest rates of awareness, treatment, and control. It implies that effective public health measures are needed to enhance the treatment, and control rates in the Chinese population, particularly in the rural regions.
