Blood pressure control in dialysis patients.
Hypertension is present in most patients on hemodialysis, and evidence suggests that it is not well controlled. In this review we discuss the pathogenesis of hypertension in these patients and the reasons that short-duration, intermittent hemodialysis makes blood pressure treatment especially difficult. We provide suggestions for targeting volume management as a basis for optimal hypertension treatment.
