BP patterns in hemodialysis challenge general population norms; leaves open whether age-specific targets warrant prospective testing.
How do age-related blood pressure patterns and variability differ between hemodialysis patients and the general population?
The relationship between age and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients differs significantly from the general population, with elevated pressures in younger patients and a decline in older patients.
Rohrscheib et al. (2008) studied this question.
