Previous studies of blood pressure and mortality in haemodialysis have yielded mixed
results, perhaps due to confounding by comorbid conditions. We hypothesized that after …

We recently reported a linear association between higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) and
risk of mortality in hemodialysis patients when SBP is measured outside of the dialysis unit …

High BP is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease mortality in the
general population. Surprising, studies that have been conducted among hemodialysis (HD) …

Hemodialysis-associated hypotension as an independent risk factor for two-year mortality in
hemodialysis patients. Background The relationship between blood pressure (BP) and …

Dialysis patients exhibit an inverse, L-or U-shaped association between blood pressure and
mortality risk, in contrast to the linear association in the general population. We prospectively …

Background: Hemodialysis patients are at significantly increased risk for both morbidity and
mortality from cardiovascular disease. However, most recent reports have indicated elevated …

Studies of hemodialysis patients have shown a U-shaped association between systolic
blood pressure (SBP) and mortality. These studies have largely relied on dialysis-unit SBP …

BACKGROUND: Intradialytic increases in blood pressure (BP) can complicate the
management of hypertension in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the long-term …

Hypertension and survival in chronic hemodialysis patients—Past lessons and future
opportunities. There is substantial controversy surrounding the benefits of control of …

Hypertension is extremely common in patients with end-stage renal disease who are
receiving hemodialysis, and cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in …
