دراسة التوتر الشرياني عند مرضى القصور الكلوي المزمن المعالجين بالتحال الدموي

We studied a group of 67 patients with chronic hemodialysis for more than six months in Al-Assad University Hospital. We studied the relationship between blood pressure and age, sex, cause of renal failure, and weight gain between hemodialysis sessions, as well as the drugs used to treat hypertension. We also studied the changes in intradialytic blood pressure and the relationship between hypertension and erythropoietin, as well as the variation in blood pressure with seasonal changes. We found that the percentage of hypertension was 100% in patients of more than 55years old. There was no difference between male and female (1.09:1); all diabetic patients had hypertension; there was a positive relationship between blood pressure and interdialytic weight gain; there was no relationship between hypertension and medication with erythropoietin, and blood pressure decreased in summer more than winter.
