Key result
Arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain were associated with an overall increase in blood pressure level, interdialytic linear increase, and blunted circadian amplitude.

Do arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain influence ambulatory blood pressure patterns in hemodialysis patients?
Population
125 long-term hemodialysis patients (contributing 11,833 blood pressure measurements)
Design

Suggests arterial stiffness and weight gain as BP targets in hemodialysis; leaves open whether interventions alter ambulatory patterns.

Do arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain influence ambulatory blood pressure patterns in hemodialysis patients?
Arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain independently influence ambulatory blood pressure patterns in hemodialysis patients, affecting overall levels, interdialytic trends, and circadian rhythms.
Agarwal et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Long-term hemodialysis (n=125). Arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain was evaluated on Interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure level, trends, and rhythms. Arterial stiffness and interdialytic weight gain were associated with an overall increase in blood pressure level, interdialytic linear increase, and blunted circadian amplitude.
