Key result
Higher ultrafiltration rates during hemodialysis were significantly correlated with increases in intradialytic diastolic blood pressure (r=0.320, p=0.001), as well as systolic and mean arterial pressures.
Why the study?
Intradialytic hypertension is dangerous and requires prevention, prompting an investigation into how ultrafiltration variables like ultrafiltration goal and rate correlate with intradialytic blood pressure.
Does higher ultrafiltration (goal and rate) increase intradialytic blood pressure in hemodialysis patients?
Population
112 patients at two dialysis centres in Semarang
Comparison
Ultrafiltration goal and ultrafiltration rate vs intradialytic blood pressure
Design
Descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design

Effect estimate: r=0.320
p-value: p=0.001
Higher ultrafiltration goals and rates during hemodialysis are significantly correlated with increased intradialytic blood pressure, highlighting the need for careful fluid management to prevent intradialytic hypertension.
Armiyati et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in End-Stage Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis (n=112). Ultrafiltration (ultrafiltration goal and ultrafiltration rate) was evaluated on Increase in intradialytic diastolic blood pressure associated with high ultrafiltration rate (r=0.320, p=0.001). Higher ultrafiltration rates during hemodialysis were significantly correlated with increases in intradialytic diastolic blood pressure (r=0.320, p=0.001), as well as systolic and mean arterial pressures.
