Intradialysis hypertension, a diagnosis to be discovered.

Introduction: Intradialytic hypertension (IDH) is a poorly understood phenomenon with no consensus on its definition, etiology, or related factors, and there is limited evidence on its consequences.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of IDH according to different definitions in hemodialysis (HD) units, with different clinical practices and assessment of possible events after 18 months have passed.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 2 HD units, including all prevalent patients from March 2021 to September 2022.

Hyperaldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism. A disturbing friendship.

Classically, aldosterone actions are associated with the stability of the effective circulating volume and with blood pressure control, while parathormone actions are linked to bone mineral metabolism, calcium, and phosphate homeostasis. Nevertheless, the relationship between these two hormonal axes surpasses these areas. A bidirectional interrelation between calcium-phosphorus metabolism and blood pressure control can lead to alterations in both.
