The effect of low-sodium dialysate on ambulatory blood pressure measurement parameters in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

End stage renal disease is related to increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorder among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-sodium dialysate on the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels detected by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients undergoing sustained HD treatment.

Patients and methods

The study included 46 patients who had creatinine clearance levels less than 10 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and had been on chronic HD treatment for at least 1 year. After the enrollment stage, the patients were allocated low-sodium dialysate or standard sodium dialysate for 6 months via c
