Pathophysiology
Hypertension in dialysis patients should be preferentially defined on the basis
of
home or 24h-ABPM measurements during a midweek dialysis interval.

• Home measurements: SBP >135 mm Hg and/or DBP>85 mmHg

• 24h-ABPM measurements (midweek dialysis interval): SBP >130


mm Hg and/or DBP >80 mm Hg.

• If home or 24h-ABPM cannot be applied, hypertension can be


diagnosed as midweek median intradialysis SBP >140 and/or
DBP >90 mm Hg when the patient is believed to be at dry weight
• Arterial pressure goals: age, comorbid
conditions, cardiac function, and neurologic
status.

• Treatment targets:
Home BP <135/85 mm Hg
24h-ABPM <130/80 or median
Intradialysis BP <140/90 mm Hg.
