Why the study?
Long inter-dialytic intervals in haemodialysis patients are associated with increased mortality, but variations in ambulatory blood pressure across different inter-dialytic intervals were not fully characterized.
How does ambulatory blood pressure vary during haemodialysis treatments after long versus short inter-dialytic intervals in patients with CKD stage 5?
Comparison
Dialysis after a long inter-dialytic interval vs dialysis after a short inter-dialytic interval
Design
Exploratory non-interventional observational pilot study
Follow-up

Higher BP after long intervals may warrant interval-aware monitoring; leaves open whether shortening intervals improves control.
How does ambulatory blood pressure vary during haemodialysis treatments after long versus short inter-dialytic intervals in patients with CKD stage 5?
Ambulatory BP monitoring over 52 hours is feasible in hemodialysis patients and reveals significantly higher blood pressures following long versus short inter-dialytic intervals.
