Abstract:
Acute hypotension is a frequent hemodialysis complication. Intratreatment vascular instability is a multifactorial process in which procedure-related and patient-related factors may influence the decrease in plasma volume and induce an impairment of cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms. Identification of the most susceptible patients and of the various risk factors may contribute to significantly improve cardiovascular stability during dialysis. In some high-risk patients, monitoring and biofeedback of the various hemodynamic variables, together with an extensive use of convection, can prevent the appearance of symptomatic hypotension and help in averting its onset.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
