Intradialytic Hypotension
Conditions
Keywords
intradialytic hypotension, pulse wave analysis, heart rate variability, Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire
Brief summary
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication during hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease and may increase the mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether pulse wave analysis could be the predictor of IDH. In this study, patients under regular hemodialysis were enrolled from Taoyuan Chang Gung memorial hospital. Subjects were evaluated by pulse wave instrument, heart rate variability analyzer and Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire before hemodialysis. According to the definitions of IDH, subjects in study group and control group were confirmed by the dialysis records. Furthermore, repeated examinations were done for 3 hemodialysis to investigate the possible predictive factors for IDH.
