Randomized Trial on the Effects of Dialysate Potassium Concentration on Intradialytic Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intradialytic hypertension is not an uncommon condition during chronic hemodialysis. It is associated with unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes, including hospitalization and mortality. Several small studies have demonstrated the contradictory effects of different dialysate potassium concentrations on intradialytic blood pressure. This study is a randomized crossover trial aiming to evaluate the effects of different dialysate potassium concentrations on intradialytic hypertension.

Methods

A 24-week, 2-treatment, 4-sequence, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study was conducted at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital and Lampang Hospital in Thailand among stable patients receiving chronic hemodialysis who experienced intradialytic hypertension >30%
