Background Midodrine, an FDA-approved medication for orthostatic hypotension, is also used off-label to manage hypotension in dialysis patients, including those with heart failure. However, in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and/or right heart failure, midodrine is potentially harmful. No known studies examine the safety of midodrine in hospitalised kidney failure patients with HF.
