...L. Orofino; R. Marcén; C. Quereda; J.J. Villafruela; J. Sabater; R. Matesanz; J. Pascual; J. Ortuño A prospective study on hypotension in hemodialysis was performed in 60 nondiabetic patients at two different dialysate temperatures during 12 months. A 37 °C bath (3,723 sessions) was used and after...

...Jill S. Lindberg; John B. Copley; Kenneth Melton; Charles E. Wade; Jeffery Abrams; Donald Goode The etiology of hemodialysis-induced hypotension is multifactorial. We assessed the efficacy of intranasal lysine vasopressin (LV) in 6 patients with refractory hemodialysis-induced hypotension...

... blood pressure, dialysis with hypotensive episodes and symptoms of hypotension were recorded. The measurements obtained for each patient during dialyses with acetate and bicarbonate were compared. There was no difference in predialysis chemistries, osmolality or osmolality fall, no change in mean...

...Ming-Hong Chang; Kang-Ju Chou Background: Intradialytic hypotension is a frequent complication of hemodialysis. Some authors have pointed to autonomic neuropathy as a major cause of intradialytic hypotension. However, other authors have found no such association. Methods: Tilt-table test and time...

...Urmila Anand; Bahar Bastani; Padubidri Dhanraj; Sudarshan H. Ballal Intradialysis hypotension is a common problem, especially in patients with poor left-ventricular function. We studied 6 patients who were on maintenance hemodialysis with left-ventricular ejection fraction of <40%, whose...
