Why the study?
Does a haemodialysis session acutely improve endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasomotor function in haemodialysis patients compared to hypertensive controls?

Acute HD may improve EID but not ED function in dialysis patients; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a haemodialysis session acutely improve endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasomotor function in haemodialysis patients compared to hypertensive controls?
A haemodialysis session acutely restores endothelium-independent but not endothelium-dependent vasomotor function to levels comparable with essential hypertensive patients.
