Is Hypertension Beneficial to the Conventional Hemodialysis Patient?
1University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, Mississippi, U.S.A.
Abstract:
Hypertension is common in the conventional hemodialysis population. While hypertension in the general population has been shown to reduce survival, the issue is less clear in the dialysis population. This review focuses on recent studies showing a favorable outcome in hypertensive hemodialysis patients compared to those with lower blood pressure. Possible explanations for this paradoxical relationship are examined and practical suggestions given for the management of hypertension in the hemodialysis patient.
