This prospective, multicenter observational study aims to describe how often intradialytic hypotension (IDH) occurs and to identify its risk factors in adult patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication during dialysis that can lead to symptoms, organ hypoperfusion, and interruption of treatment. Participants will be adults on regular maintenance hemodialysis who meet predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Routine clinical information will be collected, including demographics, primary kidney disease, comorbidities, medications, dialysis vintage, dialysis prescription (ultrafiltration volume and rate, dialysate composition, treatment time), and standard laboratory tests. During a defined observation period, blood pressure and related symptoms will be recorded across dialysis sessions to document the frequency, severity, and patterns of IDH. The main goals are to estimate the incidence and prevalence of intradialytic hypotension in maintenance hemodialysis patients and to explore potential risk factors, such as patient characteristics, cardiovascular status, volume status, and dialysis-related parameters. The findings may help clinicians better recognize patients at high risk of IDH and optimize dialysis prescriptions and monitoring strategies to reduce the occurrence of IDH and its adverse consequences.

Incidence Of Intradialytic Hypotension During A Single Maintenance Hemodialysis Session
Timeframe: From the start of the observed hemodialysis session to the end of the same session (approximately 3.5-4 hours).
