Effects of weight-based ultrafiltration rate limits on intradialytic hypotension in hemodialysis
Hemodialysis International Jun 01, 2018
Pirkle JL, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers determined the impacts of a weight-based ultrafiltration (UF) rate limit on intradialytic hypotension and the potential for unwanted fluid weight gain and hospitalizations for volume overload. Frequency of intradialytic hypotension events and percentage of treatments with a hypotension event were considered as the primary outcomes. A weight-based UF rate limit of 13 mL/kg/h was found to be related to a decrease in the rate of intradialytic hypotension events among in-center hemodialysis patients.
