Why the study?
Does increasing dialysate calcium concentration to 7.5 mg/dL reduce the fall in mean arterial pressure in patients undergoing hemodialysis?
Does increasing dialysate calcium concentration to 7.5 mg/dL reduce the fall in mean arterial pressure in patients undergoing hemodialysis?
Increasing dialysate calcium concentration may protect against intradialytic hypotension in hemodialysis patients by reducing the fall in mean arterial pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High-calcium dialysate attenuates intradialytic MAP decline; supports targeted use to reduce hypotension risk while warranting outcome trials.
