High blood pressure is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease and is common in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Intradialytic hypotension is associated with an adverse prognosis. More knowledge is needed to identify patients at high risk for intradialytic hypotension and dialysis-associated hypotensive episodes. The aim of this observational single-center pilot study is to evaluate whether point-of-care ultrasound measurements may predict intradialytic hypotension and orthostatic blood pressure falls, in patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo maintenance hemodialysis.
