Key result
Low predialysis systolic blood pressure (<120 mm Hg) and ambulatory blood pressure were identified as prognostic markers for mortality, with all-cause mortality varying from 12% to 36% across 13 studies.

BP targets in hemodialysis remain uncertain; leaves open optimal systolic thresholds for mortality risk.
Systematic Review
What is the relationship between blood pressure measurements and mortality in hemodialysis patients?
In hemodialysis patients, low predialysis systolic blood pressure (<120 mm Hg) is associated with increased mortality, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is recommended as the best predictor of cardiovascular mortality.
Khan et al. (2016) conducted a systematic review in End stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. Blood pressure measurements (predialysis, postdialysis, and ambulatory) was evaluated on All-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Low predialysis systolic blood pressure (<120 mm Hg) and ambulatory blood pressure were identified as prognostic markers for mortality, with all-cause mortality varying from 12% to 36% across 13 studies.
