Key result
Dry weight reduction steepened intradialytic systolic BP slopes, with each percent/hour steepening associated with a 0.71 mmHg reduction (95% CI 0.01-1.42; P=0.048) in interdialytic systolic BP.

Intradialytic hypertension may mark volume overload in HD; supports targeted dry weight reduction but needs RCT validation.

Does dry weight reduction alter intradialytic blood pressure slopes in hypertensive haemodialysis patients?
Effect estimate: 0.71 mmHg reduction (95% CI 0.01-1.42)
p-value: p=0.048
Intradialytic hypertension in haemodialysis patients may be a marker of volume overload, as dry weight reduction steepens the intradialytic systolic blood pressure slope, which correlates with reduced interdialytic blood pressure.
Agarwal et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Hypertension in haemodialysis patients (n=150). Dry weight reduction (ultrafiltration) vs. Time controls (no dry weight probing) was evaluated on Reduction in interdialytic ambulatory systolic pressure per percent per hour steepening of the intradialytic systolic BP slope (0.71 mmHg reduction, 95% CI 0.01-1.42, p=0.048). Dry weight reduction steepened intradialytic systolic BP slopes, with each percent/hour steepening associated with a 0.71 mmHg reduction (95% CI 0.01-1.42; P=0.048) in interdialytic systolic BP.
