Supports volume-focused BP strategies in hemodialysis; leaves open confirmation by prospective trials.
Does strict volume control and sodium restriction improve blood pressure control in hemodialysis patients?
Blood pressure normalization in hemodialysis patients can be achieved through strict volume control and sodium restriction, even with conventional thrice-weekly dialysis schedules.
Charra et al. (2004) conducted a review in Hypertension in hemodialysis patients. Intensive dialysis and strict volume control was evaluated. Intensive dialysis and strict volume control, combined with moderate dietary sodium restriction, can achieve blood pressure normalization in the vast majority of hemodialysis patients.
