Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most prevalent and modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients undergoing dialysis.1-3 Affecting approximately 90% of individuals with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis, elevated blood pressure (BP) significantly contributes to the already heightened cardiovascular risk in this population.4 Conversely, intradialytic hypotension (IDH)—a frequent complication during hemodialysis—can lead to debilitating symptoms, myocardial injury, and increased mortality.
