Implication

Supports extending dialysis time or lowering dry weight to improve BP control in hypertensive HD patients; extends RCT evidence for modifiable dialysis parameters.

Structured PICO

Does increasing dialysis treatment time or reducing dry weight improve blood pressure control in hypertensive hemodialysis patients?

P
Population
21 hypertensive dialysis patients, dialyzed three times a week for 3-5 h
I
Intervention
Increasing dialysis treatment time by 2 h and/or gradually decreasing dry weight
C
Comparator
Three randomized groups: increased time + decreased weight (n=6), increased time only (n=7), decreased weight only (n=8)
O
Outcome
Blood pressure assessed by 48-hour ambulatory monitoring and reduction in antihypertensive medicationsurrogate

Increasing dialysis treatment time may have an independent beneficial effect on blood pressure control in hypertensive hemodialysis patients.

Limitations

  • small sample size
  • preliminary study
