Acute Complications of Hemodialysis
2
Intradialytic hypotension
?
  • Definition A decrease in systolic BP 20 mm Hg
    or a decrease in MAP 10 mm Hg associated with
    symptoms.
  • Complication cardiac arrhythmias, coronary
    and/or cerebral ischemic events
  • Long-term side effects volume overload due to
    suboptimal ultrafiltration, LVH, and
    interdialytic hypertension

3
Risk Factors of Dialysis Hypotension
  • A third of dialysis patients
  • Low body mass
  • Poor nutritional status and hypoalbuminemia
  • Severe anemia
  • Advanced age (Age gt 65 years old)
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Large interdialysis weight gain
  • Low blood pressure (predialysis systolic BP lt100
    mm Hg)

4
Etiology of Dialysis Hypotension (I)
  • Excessive rate and degree of ultrafiltration
  • Inappropriate peripheral venodilation
  • Autonomic dysfunction
  • Inadequate vasoconstrictor secretion

5
Etiology of Dialysis Hypotensoin (II)
  • Acetate dialysate
  • Low calcium dialysate
  • Eat shortly before dialysis
  • Antihypertensive medications
  • LV dysfunction
