Highlights hypovolemia as central to intradialytic hypotension; leaves open targeted interventions to improve vascular refilling in hemodialysis patients.
Hemodialysis-induced hypotension is one of the most serious complications in renal replacement therapy. The main cause of intradialytic hypotension is hypovolemia due to an imbalance between the amount of fluid removed and the refilling capacity of the intravascular compartment. Hypotension occurs when compensatory mechanisms for hypovolemia are overwhelmed by excessive fluid removal. As long as renal replacement therapy is limited to only a few hours per week, intradialytic hypotension will continue to be a relevant problem. Research has mainly focused on enlarging the compensatory capacity for ultrafiltration-induced hypovolemia. This article critically discusses the technical approaches that have been introduced into therapy in recent years with the promise of reducing dialysis-induced hypotensive episodes.

Johannes Donauer (2004) conducted a review in Hemodialysis-induced hypotension. Technical approaches for reducing dialysis-induced hypotensive episodes was evaluated. This review critically discusses recent technical approaches introduced to reduce the incidence of hemodialysis-induced hypotension by enlarging the compensatory capacity for hypovolemia.
