May support intensified hemodialysis for ESRD hypertension; leaves open confirmation of cardiac benefits in randomized trials.
Does frequent and prolonged daily hemodialysis improve hypertension control in patients with end-stage renal disease compared to conventional hemodialysis?
Frequent and prolonged daily hemodialysis offers a physiological advantage over conventional hemodialysis in managing hypertension and reducing left ventricular hypertrophy in ESRD patients.
Saad et al. (2004) conducted a review in Hypertension in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Frequent and prolonged hemodialysis vs. Conventional hemodialysis was evaluated. Frequent and prolonged hemodialysis permits better control of hypertension and improves cardiac geometry in end-stage renal disease patients compared to conventional hemodialysis.
