Key result
Dialysate sodium concentration was significantly associated with changes in systolic blood pressure before and after hemodialysis sessions (P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does dialysate sodium concentration affect systolic blood pressure in chronic hemodialysis patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=266)
Yes
Does dialysate sodium concentration affect systolic blood pressure in chronic hemodialysis patients?
p-value: p=<0.001
Changes in systolic blood pressure before and after hemodialysis are significantly associated with dialysate sodium concentration, suggesting individualized dialysate sodium may help control blood pressure.
Observed association should not yet change practice; leaves open whether individualized dialysate sodium improves BP control in hemodialysis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Zahed et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic hemodialysis (n=266). Dialysate sodium concentration was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure before and after dialysis (ΔSBP) (p=<0.001). Dialysate sodium concentration was significantly associated with changes in systolic blood pressure before and after hemodialysis sessions (P < 0.001).
