In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with haemodialysis or peritoneal
dialysis, hypertension is common and often poorly controlled. Blood pressure (BP) …

Hypertension is common, difficult to diagnose, and poorly controlled among patients with
ESRD. However, controversy surrounds the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Here …

Addressing fluid intake and volume control requires alignment and coordination of patients,
providers, dialysis facilities, and payers, potentially necessitating a “Volume First” approach …

BACKGROUND: Predialysis serum sodium concentrations recently have been linked to
patient characteristics and outcomes in hemodialysis patients and may have implications for …

BACKGROUND: Low serum sodium concentrations are associated with an increased risk of
death in the general population, but causality is uncertain due to confounding from clinical …

Predialysis volume overload is the sum of interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and residual
postdialysis volume overload. It results mostly from failure to achieve an adequate volume …

Results IDWG increased with higher DNa across all SNa categories, by 0.17% of body
weight per 2 mEq/L higher DNa; however, higher DNa was not associated with higher …

Extracellular volume overload and hypertension are important contributors to the high risk of
cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Hypertension is present in …

Background. A higher sodium gradient (dialysate sodium minus pre-dialysis plasma sodium)
during hemodialysis (HD) has been associated with sodium loading; however, its role is not …

The diagnosis and management of hypertension among patients on chronic dialysis is
challenging. Routine peridialytic blood pressure recordings are unable to accurately …
