Prevalence of cardiovascular instability during hemodialysis therapy in hospitalized patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common and serious complication in renal replacement therapy, especially in hospitalized patients. The absence of a standardized definition complicates data synthesis and the development of evidence-based guidelines. Current definitions vary, including different blood pressure thresholds, clinical symptoms, and the need for medical intervention during dialysis. IDH is linked to increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity and may impede renal recovery in patients with acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify studies reporting IDH prevalence. A meta-analysis of proportions was performed to determine the global pr
