Why the study?
Which dialysis unit blood pressure measurement best reflects 48-h interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure in chronic haemodialysis patients?
Which dialysis unit blood pressure measurement best reflects 48-h interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure in chronic haemodialysis patients?
In chronic haemodialysis patients, the 20-minute post-dialysis blood pressure reading is the best representation of interdialytic pressure, as predialysis readings often overestimate it due to a white-coat effect.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports preferring 20-min post-dialysis BP over arrival readings for interdialytic estimation in HD; leaves open outcome validation before practice change.
