Haemodialysis does not systematically affect autonomic function in patients with chronic kidney disease. Hypotension-prone patients do not show disturbed autonomic blood pressure control during or before dialysis.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Autonomic Neuroscience

Background:

  • Uraemic autonomic dysfunction is suspected to contribute to dialysis hypotension.
  • Autonomic function is typically assessed at rest, potentially missing dialysis-induced changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate efferent sympathetic and parasympathetic function during a standard haemodialysis session.
  • To determine if autonomic function is altered at different stages of haemodialysis.
  • To investigate autonomic control in hypotension-prone patients.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed autonomic function using static exercise tests and heart rate variability during Valsalva manoeuvre and deep breathing.
  • Tests were conducted before, during, and after haemodialysis in 22 chronic haemodialysis patients.

  • Patients were categorized based on hypotension proneness and response to exercise tests.

    • Main Results:

    • Blood pressure response to exercise and heart rate variability remained unchanged throughout the haemodialysis session.
    • Hypotension-prone patients exhibited a greater blood pressure drop but appropriate heart rate acceleration.
    • No elevated occurrence or worsening of autonomic dysfunction was observed during dialysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Haemodialysis does not exert a systematic effect on autonomic function.
    • Hypotension-prone patients are not characterized by impaired autonomic blood pressure control before or during dialysis.
