Hypotension of Hemodialysis
Conditions
Keywords
Hemodialysis, Intradialytic hypotension, Remote Monitoring
Brief summary
In this study, the investigators will monitor patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment with a non-invasive wearable PPG-based device. Measurements will include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance, among others. The aim is to diagnose intradialytic hypotension more rapidly than with current noninvasive methods and prevent related poor outcomes.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Patients with EKSD undergoing chronic hemodialysis treatments for \> 3 months. 2. Patients must be able to adhere to the visit schedule and protocol requirements and be available to complete the study. 3. Patients must satisfy a medical examiner about their fitness to participate in the study. 4. Patients must provide written informed consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion criteria
