Autonomic dysfunction may contribute to volume-nonresponsive hypotension in hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Observational (n=25)
Is autonomic nervous system dysfunction associated with volume-nonresponsive hypotension in hemodialysis patients?
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction appears to play an important role in the genesis of volume-nonresponsive hypotension in hemodialysis patients.
Stojceva-Taneva et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Hemodialysis patients with volume-nonresponsive hypotension (n=25). Volume-nonresponsive hypotension vs. Volume-responsive hypotension and normal subjects was evaluated on Autonomic nervous system function. Dialysis patients with volume-nonresponsive hypotension displayed significant derangements in autonomic nervous system function compared to normal subjects and those with volume-responsive hypotension.
