Article Synopsis
- Hypertension is common among dialysis patients, and figuring out whether to adjust their fluid levels or use medication is often based on clinical judgment rather than concrete data.
- A study used a non-invasive bio-impedance technique to gather hemodynamic data from dialysis patients to assess the reasons behind their hypertension.
- The results showed that vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) was the primary cause of pre-dialysis hypertension, emphasizing the need for tailored treatments based on individual hemodynamic profiles.
