High ultrafiltration rate induced intradialytic hypotension is a predictor for cardiac remodeling: a 5-year cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intradialytic-hypotension (IDH) is a common complication of hemodialysis. High ultrafiltration rate (UFR) might lead to IDH. However, the relationships between UFR, IDH, and cardiac remodeling among hemodialysis patients in the long-term have not been deeply explored.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study collected clinical and echocardiographic data. Patients were enrolled from 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2014 and were followed-up for 5-year. Those who suffered from more than four hypotensive events during three months (10% of dialysis treatments) were defined as the IDH group. Subgroup analysis was done according to the UFR of 10 ml/h/kg. Associations between UFR, IDH, and alterations of cardiac structure/function were analyzed.

Results

Among 209 patient
