[The physiopathology of dialysis-associated hypertension].
Hypertension in subjects on long term dialysis is frequent. Its origins are found in extracellular volume overload, which is complicated by increased peripheral arterial resistance. The latter is affected by many systems, including that of renin-angiotensin, endothelin, nitric oxide, the sympathetic nervous system, and others. The interaction between these factors may explain why the control of hypertension in dialysis patients requires ongoing attention to the many aspects of good dialysis.
