A randomized crossover clinical trial of sertraline for intradialytic hypotension.

Introduction: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) has been reported in 15% to 50% of hemodialysis patients and increases patients morbidity and mortality. Some small noncontrolled studies evaluated the effect of sertraline on IDH with conflicting results. This study is a randomized crossover controlled trial on the effectiveness of sertraline to reduce IDH.
