Intradialytic Hypotension as an Independent Risk Factor for Long-Term Mortality in Maintaining Hemodialysis Patients: A 5-Year Follow-Up Cohort Study

This study aimed to assess risk factors of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and the association of prognosis and IDH among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Among 293 patients, 117 were identified with IDH (more than 4 hypotensive events during 3 months). The association between IDH and survival was evaluated.The incidence of IDH was 39.9%. Age, ultrafiltration rate, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), albumin,...
