KDOQI practice guidelines recommend predialysis blood pressure< 140/90 mm Hg;
however, most prior studies had found elevated mortality with low, not high, systolic blood …

The association between blood pressure (BP) and mortality is unique in hemodialysis
patients compared with that in the general population. This is because of an altered benefit …

Background: This study compares the associations of predialysis systolic blood pressure
(SBP) with mortality risk in both incident and prevalent hemodialysis (HD) cohorts by using …

The role of predialysis blood pressure (BP) as a risk factor for the high mortality in chronic
hemodialysis (HD) patients has remained controversial. The objective of the current study …

Blood pressure measured before and after dialysis does not agree well with those recorded
outside the dialysis unit. Whether recordings obtained outside the dialysis unit are of greater …

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

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

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) …

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 …
