title: Symptomatic intradialytic hypotension and mortality: an opinionated review.
abstract: The unchanging rate of symptomatic hypotension that attends maintenance hemodialysis and its link to sodium/volume overload are explored. Correlations between interdialytic weight gain, ultrafiltration rate, hypertension, and mortality are found to be strong. Suggestions/opinions for correcting this unfortunate clinical reality are offered.
