Background
Hemodialysis (HD) patients with recurrent intradialytic hypertension (IH) have higher ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and atypical ambulatory BP patterns compared to HD controls. Recurrent IH is also associated with increased extracellular volume (ECV) and intradialytic vasoconstriction surges. We examined how these variables influence ambulatory BP in HD patients with and without IH.
Methods
In a case-control study of recurrent IH patients (systolic pre to post-HD BP increase >10 mmHg in 4/6 treatments) and hypertensive HD controls we obtained pre and post-HD ECV/weight with bioimpedance spectroscopy and total peripheral resistance index (TPRI) with a cardiac output monitor. Linear regression measured associations of peridialytic variables on 44-hr ambulatory BP measurements.
Results
There were 18 IH subjects and 57 controls. Those with IH had higher ECV than controls (0.27±0.04 L/kg vs. 0.23±0.04, p=0.002) and different intradialytic TPRI changes than controls (385±840 dyn/sec/cm2/m2 vs.-478±700, p=0.001). Mean ambulatory BP was nonsignificantly higher in IH subjects (147±13 mmHg vs. 142±14, p=0.1), and BP slopes were different in hours 1-24 (-0.14±0.9 mmHg/hr vs. 0.42±0.9, p=0.04) but not hours 1-44. ECV/weight was associated with mean ambulatory BP in IH subjects and ambulatory BP slope in controls (Table). Post-HD BP associated with ambulatory BP in both groups.
Conclusion
Chronic ECV overload is a primary factor associated with ambulatory BP in IH patients, but interdialytic weight gain and intradialytic vasoconstriction surges are not. In controls, ECV overload is associated with a blunted ambulatory BP rise. Intra- and interdialytic BP patterns may help guide diagnosis and management strategies of ECV in HD patients.
