Key result
Haemodialysis patients with dialysis-induced hypotension exhibited more severe autonomic insufficiency, indicated by lower heart to mediastinum count rates, than those without (P<0.05).

Autonomic insufficiency was associated with dialysis-induced hypotension; leaves open whether MIBG-guided stratification improves outcomes in haemodialysis.

Is autonomic insufficiency associated with dialysis-induced hypotension in diabetic and non-diabetic haemodialysis patients?
p-value: p=<0.05
Autonomic insufficiency, as assessed by cardiac MIBG scintigraphy, is more severe in haemodialysis patients with dialysis-induced hypotension, particularly in those with diabetes.
Sato et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Dialysis-induced hypotension (n=44). Dialysis-induced hypotension vs. No dialysis-induced hypotension was evaluated on Heart to mediastinum average count rate (H/M) on [(123)I]-MIBG scintigraphy (p=<0.05). Haemodialysis patients with dialysis-induced hypotension exhibited more severe autonomic insufficiency, indicated by lower heart to mediastinum count rates, than those without (P<0.05).
