Strict volume control may reduce LVMI in hypertensive HD patients; hypothesis-generating and requires RCT confirmation before practice change.
Does strict volume control by ultrafiltration and salt restriction reduce left ventricular mass index in hypertensive haemodialysis patients?
Strict volume control through ultrafiltration and salt restriction without antihypertensive drugs can significantly regress left ventricular hypertrophy and improve blood pressure in hemodialysis patients.
