Intra-dialytic BP measurements should not yet guide management; leaves open optimal monitoring strategy and outcome impact in haemodialysis.
Does blood pressure measured during haemodialysis reliably reflect interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure in normotensive haemodialysis patients?
Ambulatory blood pressure measurements are necessary for adequate monitoring in haemodialysis patients because intra-dialytic measurements do not reliably reflect interdialytic blood pressure.
Huisman et al. (1995) studied this question.
