Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of kidney failure and is often complicated by autonomic neuropathy, which may have implications for blood pressure (BP) homeostasis during hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: In this post hoc analysis of the Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) Daily Trial, we used random effects Poisson and linear regression models to estimate the association of diabetes (vs. not) with intra-dialytic hypotension (IDH) and peri-dialytic BP parameters, respectively.
