[Successful treatment of refractory hypotension during hemodialysis using high levels of sodium in the dialysis solution].
We report a case of grave hemodialysis associated hypotension refractory to common therapy and successfully resolved with extremely high concentration of sodium in dialysate. We briefly discuss pathogenesis and treatment of hemodialysis associated hypotension, and its prevention with modern hemodialysis machines.
