Proposed algorithm for hypertensive urgency in hemodialysis warrants validation; leaves open comparative efficacy of eight modalities.
What are the effective management modalities for hypertensive hemodialysis patients admitted for hypertensive urgency?
This review proposes an algorithm for managing hypertensive urgency in hemodialysis patients based on eight identified treatment modalities.
Enam et al. (2014) conducted a review in Hypertension in hemodialysis patients (hypertensive urgency). Management modalities (dialysis adjustments, sodium restriction, medications, etc.) was evaluated. A literature review identified eight management modalities for hypertensive urgency in hemodialysis patients, which were incorporated into a proposed clinical algorithm.
