Background Midodrine is prescribed to prevent symptomatic hypotension and decrease
complications associated with hypotension during dialysis. We hypothesized that midodrine …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is the most common adverse complication during
hemodialysis. Its early prediction and prevention will dramatically improve the quality of life …

Background We conducted this study to examine the effect of taking versus holding BP
medications before hemodialysis on intradialytic hypotension (IDH). Methods In this cluster …

Intradialytic hypotension remains the most frequent complication associated with routine
outpatient hemodialysis. Although increasing dialysis frequency and also lengthening …

Background: The effects of l-carnitine on the hemodynamic state of chronic hemodialysis
patients have been debated. In order to clarify the effect of administered l-carnitine on …

Background There is increasing awareness that, besides patient survival, Quality of Life
(QOL) is a relevant outcome factor for patients who have a chronic disease. In …

Background Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) has a dramatic impact on the main outcomes of
dialysis patients. Early warning of hemodynamic worsening during dialysis would enable …

Background Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is still a major clinical problem for haemodialysis
(HD) patients. Haemodiafiltration (HDF) has been shown to be able to reduce the incidence …

Chronic hemodialysis sessions, as developed in Seattle in the 1960s, were long procedures
with minimal intra-and interdialytic symptoms. Over the next three decades, dialysis duration …

Historical, clinical, economic, and technological developments have driven a shift in clinical
practice from predominantly 6-hour-long hemodialysis treatments to much shorter treatment …
