Abstract
Purpose: To reassess the results of former meta-analyses focusing on the relationship between novel HES preparations (130/0.4 and 130/0.42) and acute kidney injury. Previous meta-analyses are based on studies referring to partially or fully unpublished data or data from abstracts only. Methods: The studies included in the former meta-analyses were scrutinized by the authors independently. We completed a critical analysis of the literature, including the strengths, weaknesses and modifiers of the studies when assessing products, formulations and outcomes. Results: Both the published large studies and meta-analyses show significant bias in the context of the deleterious effect of 6% 130/0.4-0.42 HES. Without (1) detailed hemodynamic data, (2) the exclusion of other nephrotoxic events and (3) a properly performed evaluation of the dose-effect relationship, the AKI-inducing property of 6% HES 130/0.4 or 0.42 should not be considered as evidence. The administration of HES is safe and effective if the recommended dose is respected. Conclusions: Our review suggests that there is questionable evidence for the deteriorating renal effect of these products. Further well-designed, randomized and controlled trials are needed. Additionally, conclusions formulated for resource-rich environments should not be extended to more resource-scarce environments without proper qualifiers provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodynamic instability in patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is one of the most common and essential factors influencing mortality, morbidity, and the quality of life in this patient population. METHOD Decreased cardiac preload, reduced systemic vascular resistance, redistribution of fluids, fluid overload, inflammatory factors, and changes in plasma osmolality have all been implicated in the pathophysiology of hemodynamic instability associated with KRT. RESULT A cascade of these detrimental mechanisms may ultimately cause intra-dialytic hypotension, reduced tissue perfusion, and impaired kidney rehabilitation. Multiple parameters, including dialysate composition, temperature, posture during dialysis sessions, physical activity, fluid administrations, dialysis timing, and specific pharmacologic agents, have been studied as possible management modalities. Nevertheless, a clear consensus is not reached. CONCLUSION This review includes a thorough investigation of the literature on hemodynamic instability in KRT patients, providing insight on interventions that may potentially minimize factors leading to hemodynamic instability.

Abstract
(1) Background: It was examined whether glucose-induced changes in the relative blood volume are suitable to identify subjects with and without type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) during hemodialysis. (2) Methods: The relative blood volume was continuously recorded during hemodialysis and perturbed by the infusion of glucose comparable to the dose used for intravenous glucose tolerance tests. Indices of glucose metabolism were determined by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA). Body composition was measured by a bioimpedance analysis. The magnitude and the time course of hemodilution were described by a modified gamma variate model and five model parameters. (3) Results: A total of 34 subjects were studied, 14 with and 20 without T2D. The magnitude of the hemodilution and the selected model parameters correlated with measures of anthropometry, body mass index, absolute and relative fat mass, volume excess, baseline insulin concentration, and HOMA indices such as insulin resistance and glucose disposition in a continuous analysis, but were not different in a dichotomous analysis of patients with and without T2D. (4) Conclusions: Even though the parameters of the hemodilution curve were correlated with measures of impaired glucose metabolism and body composition, the distinction between subjects with and without T2D was not possible using glucose-induced changes in the relative blood volume during hemodialysis.

Abstract
Prescribing dialysate sodium is the responsibility of the physician, but there are currently no clear guidelines for this prescription. Furthermore, there is quite frequently a significant difference between prescribed and measured dialysate sodium. Several arguments, both theoretical and experimental, suggest that dialysate sodium should be adjusted individually in such a way as to result in a decreasing sodium profile that takes into account the patient's predialytic natremia. The generalization in clinical routine of this strategy requires the integration into the hemodialysis monitor of software making the machine capable to automatically adjust the dialysate sodium at each session. The only three such softwares that have been integrated into hemodialysis machines for routine clinical use are discussed. All three work with conductivity measurements as a surrogate for sodium concentrations. Although there are only a few publications on the use of these softwares in clinical practice, they appear to result in improved intradialytic tolerance to the dialysis treatment, better control of hypertension, and reduced thirst, leading to decreased interdialytic weight gain.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common side effect that occurs during hemodialysis and poses a great risk for dialysis patients. Many studies have been conducted so far to predict IDH, but most of these could not be applied in real-time because they used only underlying patient information or static patient disease information. In this study, we propose a multilayer perceptron (MP)-based IDH prediction model using heart rate (HR) information corresponding to time-series information and static data of patients. This study aimed to validate whether HR differences and HR slope information affect real-time IDH prediction in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Clinical data were collected from 80 hemodialysis patients from 9 September to 17 October 2020, in the artificial kidney room at Yeungnam University Medical Center (YUMC), Daegu, South Korea. The patients typically underwent hemodialysis 12 times during this period, 1 to 2 h per session. Therefore, the HR difference and HR slope information within up to 1 h before IDH occurrence were used as time-series input data for the MP model. Among the MP models using the number and data length of different hidden layers, the model using 60 min of data before the occurrence of two layers and IDH showed maximum performance, with an accuracy of 81.5%, a true positive rate of 73.8%, and positive predictive value of 87.3%. This study aimed to predict IDH in real-time by continuously supplying HR information to MP models along with static data such as age, diabetes, hypertension, and ultrafiltration. The current MP model was implemented using relatively limited parameters; however, its performance may be further improved by adding additional parameters in the future, further enabling real-time IDH prediction to play a supporting role for medical staff.

Abstract
AIMS The disposal of a glucose bolus was studied to identify glucose metabolism in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) during their regular hemodialysis (HD) treatment. METHODS Plasma glucose, insulin, and c-peptide concentrations were measured during a 60 min observation phase following a rapid glucose infusion (0.5 g/kg dry weight). Glucose disposition and elimination rates were determined from kinetic analysis, and insulinogenic index was calculated. Insulin resistance (RHOMA) was determined by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA). RESULTS 35 HD patients (14 with T2DM) distinguished by a higher age (median: 70 vs. 55 y, p < 0.01) in T2DM patients were studied. Glucose kinetic data showed only small differences between patients with or without T2DM, but as RHOMA measured in all patients increased, a larger fraction of glucose was removed by the extracorporeal system (r = 0.430, p = 0.01). One hour after glucose bolus injection the glucose level was not different from that before HD also in patients with T2DM (p = 0.115). CONCLUSIONS The larger glucose amount recovered in dialysate in patients with increasing RHOMA indicates that impaired glucose disposal could be measured during HD using a non-invasive dialysis quantification approach without blood sampling. Glucose infusion during HD is safe also in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is commonly occurred and links to higher mortality among patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Its early prediction and prevention will dramatically improve the quality of life. However, predicting the occurrence of IDH clinically is not simple. The aims of this study are to develop an intelligent system with capability of predicting blood pressure (BP) during HD, and to further compare different machine learning algorithms for next systolic BP (SBP) prediction. METHODS This study presented comprehensive comparisons among linear regression model, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), tree-based ensemble machine learning models (random forest [RF] and extreme gradient boosting [XGBoost]), and support vector regression to predict the BP during HD treatment based on 200 and 48 maintenance HD patients containing a total of 7,180 and 2,065 BP records for the training and test dataset, respectively. Ensemble method also was computed to obtain better predictive performance. We compared the developed models based on R2, root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). RESULTS We found that RF (R2=0.95, RMSE=6.64, MAE=4.90) and XGBoost (R2=1.00, RMSE=1.83, MAE=1.29) had comparable predictive performance on the training dataset. However, RF (R2=0.49, RMSE=16.24, MAE=12.14) had more accurate than XGBoost (R2=0.41, RMSE=17.65, MAE=13.47) on testing dataset. Among these models, the ensemble method (R2=0.50, RMSE=16.01, MAE=11.97) had the best performance on testing dataset for next SBP prediction. CONCLUSIONS We compared five machine learning and an ensemble method for next SBP prediction. Among all studied algorithms, the RF and the ensemble method have the better predictive performance. The prediction models using ensemble method for intradialytic BP profiling may be able to assist the HD staff or physicians in individualized care and prompt intervention for patients' safety and improve care of HD patients.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent and serious complication of chronic haemodialysis, linked to adverse long-term outcomes including increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. IDH is the end result of the interaction between ultrafiltration rate (UFR), cardiac output and arteriolar tone. Thus excessive ultrafiltration may decrease the cardiac output, especially when compensatory mechanisms (heart rate, myocardial contractility, vascular tone and splanchnic flow shifts) fail to be optimally recruited. The repeated disruption of end-organ perfusion in IDH may lead to various adverse clinical outcomes affecting the heart, central nervous system, kidney and gastrointestinal system. Potential interventions to decrease the incidence or severity of IDH include optimization of the dialysis prescription (cool dialysate, UFR, sodium profiling and high-flux haemofiltration), interventions during the dialysis session (midodrine, mannitol, food intake, intradialytic exercise and intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower limbs) and interventions in the interdialysis period (lower interdialytic weight gain and blood pressure–lowering drugs). However, the evidence base for many of these interventions is thin and optimal prevention and management of IDH awaits further clinical investigation. Developing a consensus definition of IDH will facilitate clinical research. We review the most recent findings on risk factors, pathophysiology and management of IDH and, based on this, we call for a new consensus definition of IDH based on clinical outcomes and define a roadmap for IDH research.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) and volume control are critical components of dialysis care and have substantial impacts on patient symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular complications. Yet, developing consensus best practices for BP and volume control have been challenging, given the absence of objective measures of extracellular volume status and the lack of high-quality evidence for many therapeutic interventions. In February of 2019, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) held a Controversies Conference titled Blood Pressure and Volume Management in Dialysis to assess the current state of knowledge related to BP and volume management and identify opportunities to improve clinical and patient-reported outcomes among individuals receiving maintenance dialysis. Four major topics were addressed: BP measurement, BP targets, and pharmacologic management of suboptimal BP; dialysis prescriptions as they relate to BP and volume; extracellular volume assessment and management with a focus on technology-based solutions; and volume-related patient symptoms and experiences. The overarching theme resulting from presentations and discussions was that managing BP and volume in dialysis involves weighing multiple clinical factors and risk considerations as well as patient lifestyle and preferences, all within a narrow therapeutic window for avoiding acute or chronic volume-related complications. Striking this challenging balance requires individualizing the dialysis prescription by incorporating comorbid health conditions, treatment hemodynamic patterns, clinical judgment, and patient preferences into decision-making, all within local resource constraints.

Abstract
Hemodynamic instability related to renal replacement therapy (HIRRT) is a frequent complication of all renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities commonly used in the intensive care unit. HIRRT is associated with increased mortality and may impair kidney recovery. Our current understanding of the physiologic basis for HIRRT comes primarily from studies of end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis in whom HIRRT is referred to as ‘intradialytic hypotension’. Nonetheless, there are many studies that provide additional insights into the underlying mechanisms for HIRRT specifically in critically ill patients. In particular, recent evidence challenges the notion that HIRRT is almost entirely related to excessive ultrafiltration. Although excessive ultrafiltration is a key mechanism, multiple other RRT-related mechanisms may precipitate HIRRT and this could have implications for how HIRRT should be managed (e.g., the appropriate response might not always be to reduce ultrafiltration, particularly in the context of significant fluid overload). This review briefly summarizes the incidence and adverse effects of HIRRT and reviews what is currently known regarding the mechanisms underpinning it. This includes consideration of the evidence that exists for various RRT-related interventions to prevent or limit HIRRT. An enhanced understanding of the mechanisms that underlie HIRRT, beyond just excessive ultrafiltration, may lead to more effective RRT-related interventions to mitigate its occurrence and consequences.

Abstract
Background There is increasing awareness that, besides patient survival, Quality of Life (QOL) is a relevant outcome factor for patients who have a chronic disease. In haemodialysis (HD) patients, intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is considered one of the most frequent complications, and this is often accompanied by symptoms. Several studies have investigated QOL in dialysis patients, however, research on the association between intradialytic symptoms and QOL is minimal. The goal of this study was to determine whether the occurrence of IDH has an influence on the perception of QOL. Methods During 3 months, haemodynamic data, clinical events, and interventions of 2623 HD-sessions from 82 patients were prospectively collected. The patients filled out a patient-reported intradialytic symptom score (PRISS) after each HD session. IDH was defined according to the EBPG as a decrease in SBP ≥20 mmHg or in MAP ≥10 mmHg associated with a clinical event and need for nursing interventions. Patient’s self-assessment of QOL was evaluated by the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. Results There were no significant associations between the mental summary score or the physical summary score and the proportion of dialysis sessions that fulfilled the full EBPG definition. A lower PRISS was significantly associated with the proportion of dialysis sessions that fulfilled the full EBPG definition (R = − 0.35, P = 0.0011), the proportion of dialysis sessions with a clinical event (R = − 0.64, P = 0.001), and the proportion of dialysis sessions with nursing interventions (R = − 0.41, P = 0.0001). The physical component summary and mental component summary were significantly negatively associated with the variable diabetes and positively with PRISS (P = 0.003 and P = 0.005, respectively). UF volume was significantly negatively associated with mental health (P = 0.02) and general health (P = 0.01). Conclusions Our findings suggest that the EBPG definition of IDH does not capture aspects of intradialytic symptomatology that are relevant for the patient’s QOL. In contrast, we found a significant association between QOL and a simple patient-reported intra-dialytic symptom score, implying that how patients experience HD treatment influences their QOL.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication at the initiation of hemodialysis (HD) therapy, is associated with greater mortality, and may be related to relatively rapid shifts in plasma osmolality. This study sought to evaluate the effect of an intervention to minimize intradialytic changes in plasma osmolality on the occurrence of IDH. STUDY DESIGN Double-blind, single-center, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Individuals requiring initiation of HD for acute or chronic kidney disease. INTERVENTION Mannitol, 0.25g/kg/h, versus a similar volume of 0.9% saline solution during the first 3 HD sessions. OUTCOMES The primary end point was average decline in systolic blood pressure (SBP). The secondary end point was the proportion of total sessions complicated by IDH (defined as a decrease ≥ 20mm Hg from the pre-HD SBP). Exploratory end points included biomarkers of cardiac and kidney injury. RESULTS 52 patients were randomly assigned and contributed to 156 study visits. There were no significant differences in average SBP decline between the mannitol and placebo groups (15±11 vs 19±16mm Hg; P = 0.3). The proportion of total sessions complicated by IDH was lower in the mannitol group compared to placebo (25% vs 43%), with a nominally lower risk for developing an episode of IDH (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.14-1.00), though this finding was of borderline statistical significance (P = 0.05). There were no consistent differences in cardiac and kidney injury biomarker levels between treatment groups. LIMITATIONS Modest sample size and number of events. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot randomized controlled trial studying patients requiring initiation of HD, we found no difference in absolute SBP decline between those who received mannitol and those who received saline solution. However, there were fewer overall IDH events and a nominally lower risk for dialysis sessions being complicated by IDH in the mannitol group. A larger multicenter randomized controlled trial is warranted.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is related to high morbidity and mortality. There is evidence that arginine-vasopressin (AVP) responses could play a role. Copeptin is a reliable biomarker of AVP. In this study, copeptin, aldosterone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels in patients with IDH were evaluated throughout a hemodialysis (HD) session and compared with the control group. The study includes 15 patients who were normotensive during HD and 15 patients with IDH with a minimum HD vintage of 1 year. Blood samples were collected before the initiation of an HD session (T0 ), in the mid-session for control group, 30 min after mean arterial pressure drop for IDH patients (T1 ), and at the end of the session (T2 ). Groups had similar demographic features and health parameters, interdialytic weight gains, and ultrafiltration amounts. The IDH group had a mean arterial pressure decline of 39.9 (±6.4) mm Hg. Copeptin levels of the control group increased an average of 79.9 (±97.5) pmol/L at T1 and an additional 24.8 (±33.9) pmol/L at T2 . In the IDH group, copeptin level increases at T1 and T2 were 3.2 (±5.5) pmol/L and 34 (±44.6) pmol/L, respectively. Copeptin levels of the IDH group were significantly lower at T1 (P < 0.001) and at the T0 -T2 interval than control group (P = 0.05). In the control group, aldosterone levels distinctly decreased, and in the IDH group, aldosterone levels were elevated (P < 0.001). Small changes were detected in epinephrine and norepinephrine levels for both groups but did not reach significance (P = 0.6 and P = 0.3, respectively). Lower copeptin level alterations suggest inadequate AVP responses in patients with IDH.

Abstract
Background Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of hemodialysis. The Hemocontrol biofeedback system, improving intradialytic hemodynamic stability, is associated with an initial transient increase in plasma sodium levels. Increases in sodium could affect blood pressure regulators. Methods We investigated whether Hemocontrol dialysis affects vasopressin and copeptin levels, endothelial function, and sympathetic activity in twenty-nine chronic hemodialysis patients. Each patient underwent one standard hemodialysis and one Hemocontrol hemodialysis. Plasma sodium, osmolality, nitrite and nitrate (NOx), endothelin-1, angiopoietins-1 and 2, and methemoglobin as measures of endothelial function, plasma catecholamines as indices of sympathetic activity and plasma vasopressin and copeptin levels were measured six times during each modality. Blood pressure, heart rate, blood volume, and heart rate variability were repeatedly monitored. Generalized Estimating Equations was used to compare the course of the parameters during the two treatment modalities. Results Plasma sodium and osmolality were significantly higher during the first two hours of Hemocontrol hemodialysis. Overall, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher during Hemocontrol dialysis. Neither the measures of endothelial function and sympathetic activity nor copeptin levels differed between the two dialysis modalities. In contrast, plasma vasopressin levels were significantly higher during the first half of Hemocontrol dialysis. The intradialytic course of vasopressin was associated with the course of MAP. Conclusions A transient intradialytic increase in plasma sodium did not affect indices of endothelial function or sympathetic activity compared with standard hemodialysis, but coincided with higher plasma vasopressin levels. The beneficial effect of higher intradialytic sodium levels on hemodynamic stability might be mediated by vasopressin. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov. Identifier: NCT03578510.

Abstract
Setting dialysate sodium allows to adequately adjust sodium balance and plasma sodium at the end of dialysis session. In accordance with the set-point theory based on the concept of restoring cellular hydration, an adequate target for plasma sodium at the end of the session could be the value of predialysis plasma sodium concentration (isonatric hemodialysis). Some recently available dialysis monitors provide an on-line value of plasma-water conductivity usually converted in on-line natremia. There are different modalities of isonatric hemodialysis depending on whether the online value of natremia is used or not. By reviewing the few studies concerning the isonatric hemodialysis, it seems logical to set a target of postdialysis on-line natremia (or plasma-water conductivity) slightly lower than its predialysis value. However this strategy requires specifically designed software not yet available in clinical routine.

Abstract
Homeostatic regulation of plasma osmolality (POsm) is critical for normal cellular function in humans. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is the major hormone responsible for the maintenance of POsm and acts to promote renal water retention in conditions of increased POsm. However, AVP also exerts pressor effects, and its release can be stimulated by the development of effective arterial blood volume depletion. Patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, particularly those with minimal or no residual renal function, have impaired ability to regulate water retention in response to AVP. While hemodialysis can assist with this task, patients are subject to relatively rapid shifts in volume and electrolytes during the procedure. This can result in the development of transient osmotic gradients that lead to the movement of water from the extracellular to the intracellular space. Hypotension may result-both as a consequence of water movement out of the intravascular compartment, but also from impaired AVP release and inadequate vascular tone. In this review, we explore the evidence for POsm changes during hemodialysis, associations with adverse outcomes, and methods to minimize the rapidity of changes in POsm in an effort to reduce patient symptoms and minimize intra-dialytic hypotension.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication of hemodialysis and is associated with numerous adverse outcomes including cardiovascular events, inadequate dialysis, loss of vascular access, and death. It is estimated that approximately 20%-30% of all dialysis sessions are affected by IDH. In seeking ways to reduce the occurrence of IDH, dialysis providers often turn to pharmacological approaches: withholding antihypertensive medications prior to hemodialysis or administering vasoconstrictor medications. This review will focus on what is known about the relation between antihypertensive medications and IDH, and summarize studies that have examined the efficacy of vasoconstrictor medications on IDH, including midodrine, arginine vasopressin, and droxidopa. However, there is currently scant evidence that any pharmacological approach is particularly effective in reducing IDH. Additional studies of potential treatments for IDH are needed, and should examine not only hemodynamic effects such as changes in nadir blood pressure during dialysis, but also on patient-centered and clinical outcomes such as symptoms of IDH, quality of life, and cardiovascular events.

Abstract
It was the purpose to quantify the hemodynamic effects of a bolus of hypertonic glucose injected into the extracorporeal system in a group of stable and nondiabetic patients during hemodialysis (HD). Glucose and electrolytes were measured in frequent intervals. Arterial blood pressures and heart rates were continuously recorded by noninvasive vascular unloading technique. Beat-to-beat stroke volume, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance were determined by Modelflow method. Relative blood volumes were continuously measured by ultrasonic and optical means. Eight patients were studied in two treatments. Although arterial pressures and heart rates remained stable, stroke volume and cardiac output transiently increased above (19.2 ± 12.3%) and total peripheral resistance dropped below baseline (18.2 ± 8.6%) by a comparable magnitude. Relative blood volume transiently increased above baseline at 100% (104.9 ± 1.0%). Glucose concentrations were significantly related to relative blood volumes (r = 0.86, p < 0.001). In spite of a substantial increase in blood volume, a bolus of hypertonic glucose does not increase arterial pressures in nondiabetic patients because of concomitant vasodilatation. The relative increase in blood volume quantified by noninvasive HD technology follows the course of glucose and could be used as a surrogate to characterize patients with regard to their glucose metabolism during HD.

Abstract
Oligo-anuric individuals receiving hemodialysis (HD) are dependent on the dialysis machine to regulate sodium and water balance. Interest in adjusting the dialysate sodium concentration to promote tolerance of the HD procedure dates back to the early years of dialysis therapy. Evolution of dialysis equipment technologies and clinical characteristics of the dialysis population have prompted clinicians to increase the dialysate sodium concentration over time. Higher dialysate sodium concentrations generally promote hemodynamic stabilization and reduce intradialytic symptoms but often do so at the expense of stimulating thirst and promoting volume expansion. The opposite may be true for lower dialysate sodium concentrations. Observational data suggest that the association between dialysate sodium and outcomes may differ by serum sodium levels, supporting the trend toward individualization of the dialysate sodium prescription. However, lack of randomized controlled clinical trial data, along with operational safety concerns related to individualized dialysate sodium prescriptions, have prevented expert consensus regarding the optimal approach to the dialysate sodium prescription.

Abstract
Background Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is considered one of the most frequent complications of haemodialysis with an estimated prevalence of 20–50 %, but studies investigating its exact prevalence are scarce. A complicating factor is that several definitions of IDH are used. The goal of this study was, to assess the prevalence of IDH, primarily in reference to the European Best Practice Guideline (EBPG) on haemodynamic instability: A decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥20 mmHg or in mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥10 mmHg associated with a clinical event and the need for nursing intervention. Methods During 3 months we prospectively collected haemodynamic data, clinical events, and nursing interventions of 3818 haemodialysis sessions from 124 prevalent patients who dialyzed with constant ultrafiltration rate and dialysate conductivity. Patients were considered as having frequent IDH if it occurred in >20 % of dialysis sessions. Results Decreases in SBP ≥20 mmHg or MAP ≥10 mmHg occurred in 77.7 %, clinical symptoms occurred in 21.4 %, and nursing interventions were performed in 8.5 % of dialysis sessions. Dialysis hypotension according to the full EBPG definition occurred in only 6.7 % of dialysis sessions. Eight percent of patients had frequent IDH. Conclusions The prevalence of IDH according to the EBPG definition is low. The dominant determinant of the EBPG definition was nursing intervention since this was the component with the lowest prevalence. IDH seems to be less common than indicated in the literature but a proper comparison with previous studies is complicated by the lack of a uniform definition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is the most common complication of hemodialysis (HD), and it plays a significant role in the morbidity and mortality associated with maintenance HD. METHODS This was a placebo-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating efficacy and safety of droxidopa in improving intradialytic blood pressure (BP) responses in 85 adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and prone to IDH. Following screening and baseline periods, patients received 400 mg or 600 mg droxidopa, or placebo, orally 1 hour before HD for 4 weeks. Primary outcome endpoint was the change between baseline and last 2 treatment weeks in average mean arterial pressure (MAP) during HD. Also assessed were changes from baseline in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) during and after HD; number of hypotension-induced interventions and symptoms; and adverse events. RESULTS Increase in droxidopa intra-HD MAP were not significantly different from placebo, although droxidopa groups showed significant improvements in mean SBP after HD of +4.8 ± 11.6 mm Hg (600-mg) and +3.4 ± 13.1 (400-mg) compared with -4.4 ± 17.9 mm Hg in placebo, and the drop seen in mean nadir SBP pre- to intra-HD was also reduced. Changes in mean DBP pre- and post-HD, changes in mean nadir SBP post-HD, or intra-HD SBP were not significant over the treatment period. HD terminations decreased 5-fold in the 600-mg group and 2-fold in the 400-mg group, whereas the number of discontinuations stayed unchanged in the placebo group. Overall, treatment with 600-mg or 400-mg droxidopa was well tolerated in this population. CONCLUSION These data suggest that droxidopa may have a role in reducing IDH complications in patients with ESRD on chronic HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid reduction in plasma osmolality during hemodialysis (HD) may induce temporary gradients that promote the movement of water from the extracellular to the intracellular compartment, predisposing to the development of intradialytic hypotension (IDH). STUDY DESIGN Observational cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 3,142 prevalent patients receiving thrice-weekly HD from a single dialysis provider organization. PREDICTOR Predialysis calculated plasma osmolarity (calculated after the 2-day interval as 2 × serum sodium + serum urea nitrogen/2.8 + serum glucose/18). OUTCOME Magnitude of systolic blood pressure (SBP) decline (predialysis SBP - nadir intradialytic SBP) and risk of IDH (SBP decline > 35 or nadir SBP < 90 mm Hg). MEASUREMENTS Unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted generalized linear models were fit to estimate the association of calculated osmolarity with intradialytic SBP decline and the odds of developing IDH. RESULTS Mean age of participants was 62.6±15.2 (SD) years, 57.1% were men, and 61.0% had diabetes. Mean predialysis calculated osmolarity during follow-up was 306.4 ± 9.5 mOsm/L. After case-mix adjustment, each 10-mOsm/L increase in predialysis calculated osmolarity was associated with 1.48 (95% CI, 0.86-2.09) mm Hg (P < 0.001) greater decline in intradialytic SBP and 10% greater odds of IDH (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.05-1.15). In adjusted models, lower predialysis sodium and higher serum urea nitrogen and serum glucose levels were associated with greater decline in intradialytic SBP. LIMITATIONS Measured serum osmolality, timing of changes in intradialytic osmolality, dialysate osmolality, and dialysate temperature were not available. CONCLUSIONS Higher predialysis calculated osmolarity is associated with greater decline in intradialytic SBP and greater risk of IDH in maintenance HD patients. Strategies to minimize rapid shifts in osmolality should be tested prospectively to minimize excess SBP decline in susceptible patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT The occurrence of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) during hemodialysis (HD) continues to be a main problem in patients with ESRD (end-stage kidney disease). It also negatively affects health-related quality of life. We aimed to determine vasopressin effect in decreasing IDH. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We reviewed clinical and experimental literature in a variety of sources, including PubMed, Current Content, Scopus, Embase, and Iranmedex regarding the possible effect of vasopressin administration in prevention of hypotension during HD to clarify its mechanism, efficacy, and safety. RESULTS Although arginine vasopressin is widely recognized for its anti-diuretic properties, it is also a well-recognized vasoconstrictor. It has been shown that the vasopressin release (as it would normally be expected) does not increase in the majority of HD patients with recurrent dialysis hypotension. In addition, it has also been reported that vasopressin secretion (due to the osmotic stimulation) is the most important mechanism in blood pressure control in ESRD patients receiving hypertonic solution for IDH. Therefore, it is suggested that vasopressin administration may improve hemodynamic stability among ESRD patients during HD. There are few clinical trials about this issue, suggesting that administration of exogenous vasopressin may be significantly associated with a decreased incidence of IDH as well as cardiovascular stability in ESRD patients in need of volume removal during HD. CONCLUSIONS Vasopressin insufficiency may have an important role in the pathogenesis of hemodynamic instability during HD and administration of exogenous vasopressin is significantly associated with a lower incidence of IDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of hemodialysis (HD). Some studies have suggested that inadequate arginine vasopressin (AVP) increase could play a role in the pathogenesis of intradialytic hypotension. However, AVP levels during HD and its relation to hypotension has never been systematically studied. SUMMARY PubMed and Embase were searched (1970-2013, search terms 'vasopressin' and 'hemodialysis') for studies reporting on AVP levels during standard HD or other dialysis techniques. Observational studies reporting on AVP levels pre- and postdialysis were additionally included in a meta-analysis. Thirty-seven studies were included in the systematic literature review, of which 26 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. The main findings were that pretreatment AVP levels were higher in dialysis patients compared with healthy controls (6.4 ± 3.5 vs. 2.5 ± 1.3 pg/ml, p = 0.003) and that plasma AVP levels showed little or no increase during HD (from 7.0 ± 4.9 to 8.8 ± 9.3, p = 0.433). Significant heterogeneity was found between studies. Meta-regression analysis revealed no significant associations between AVP and patient or study characteristics. Studies on other dialysis techniques showed mixed results regarding the AVP course. The eight studies that addressed the relation between intradialytic hypotension and AVP also showed inconsistent results. KEY MESSAGES Plasma AVP levels are higher in dialysis patients compared with healthy controls, but show little or no increase during HD. The lack of a rise in AVP levels during HD may be pathophysiologically involved in the onset of intradialytic hypotension, but firm conclusions are not possible from our review of the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is common and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients. A higher dialysis 'dose' may generate transient intradialytic osmotic gradients, predisposing to intracellular fluid shifts and resulting in hypotension. STUDY DESIGN We performed a post hoc analysis of the HEMO study, a multicenter trial that randomized chronic hemodialysis patients to high versus standard Kt/V and higher versus lower membrane flux. In order to achieve dose targets, per protocol, adjustments were made in membrane efficiency, blood flow or dialysate flow before changing session length. Detailed hemodynamic and urea kinetic modeling data were abstracted from 1,825 individuals. The primary outcome was the occurrence of hypotensive events necessitating clinical intervention (saline infusion, lowering of ultrafiltration rate or reduced blood flow). RESULTS Intradialytic hypotensive events occurred more frequently in the higher-Kt/V group (18.3 vs. 16.8%; p < 0.001). Participants randomized to higher-target Kt/V had a greater adjusted risk of IDH than those randomized to standard Kt/V [odds ratio (OR) 1.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.25]. Higher vs. lower dialyzer mass transfer-area coefficient for urea and rate of urea removal were associated with greater adjusted odds of IDH (OR 1.15; 95% CI 1.04-1.27 and OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.04-1.06 per mg/dl/h, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Higher dialysis dose, at relatively constrained treatment times, may associate with an increased risk of IDH. These findings support the possibility that rapidity of intradialytic reductions in plasma osmolality may play an important role in mediating hemodynamic instability during dialysis.

Abstract
Episodes of hypotension during hemodialysis treatment constitutes an important clinical problem which has received considerable attention in recent years. Despite the fact that numerous approaches to reducing the frequency of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) have been proposed and evaluated, the problem has not yet found a definitive solution--an observation which, in particular, applies to episodes of acute, symptomatic hypotension. This overview covers recent advances in methodology for predicting and preventing IDH. Following a brief overview of well-established hypotension-related variables, including blood pressure, blood temperature, relative blood volume, and bioimpedance, special attention is given to electrocardiographic and photoplethysmographic (PPG) variables and their significance for IDH prediction. It is concluded that cardiovascular variables which reflect heart rate variability, heart rate turbulence, and baroreflex sensitivity are important to explore in feedback control hemodialysis systems so as to improve their performance. The analysis of hemodialysis-related changes in PPG pulse wave properties hold considerable promise for improving prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotensive events are common among hemodialysis patients and are associated with a variety of patient- and procedure-related factors, including intradialytic decline in plasma osmolality. Prior studies and practice have suggested that administration of osmotically active drugs may ameliorate blood pressure decline during chronic hemodialysis. METHODS Clinical and treatment data were collected for 102 consecutive patients requiring initiation of renal replacement therapy in 2 major teaching hospitals. Routine administration of mannitol differed according to institutional protocols, allowing its examination as the primary exposure of interest. Generalized linear models were fit to estimate associations of mannitol use during dialysis initiation with intradialytic blood pressure, as assessed by: (1) intradialytic blood pressure decline; (2) nadir intradialytic blood pressure; (3) absolute systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg or decline >20 mm Hg. RESULTS Mean age was 62 years (±16), 70% were male and 44% were diabetic. Mean predialysis and nadir systolic blood pressure were 142 mm Hg (±29) and 121 mm Hg (±26), respectively. Mannitol administration was associated with a lesser decline in intradialytic blood pressure, a higher nadir blood pressure and fewer hypotensive events requiring intervention. No effect modification was evident according to diabetes or acuity of kidney disease (chronic vs. acute). CONCLUSIONS Mannitol administration appears to preserve hemodynamic stability during hemodialysis initiation. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings and identify optimal management strategies to prevent intradialytic hypotension.

Abstract
Variations in intradialytic blood pressure (BP) are a common and predictable occurrence in ESRD patients. These are caused by a decrease in blood volume provoked by ultrafiltration, lack of normal compensatory responses to fluid removal, underlying cardiac disease, and electrolyte changes that may adversely affect cardiovascular function. Intradialytic hypotension is the most frequent complication of the hemodialysis (HD) procedure and is fundamentally a consequence of an ultrafiltration rate that surpasses mechanisms activated to avert a decline in BP. Intradialytic hypertension is a less well-understood problem that has been recently associated with increased mortality. Fundamental patient characteristics and components of the HD procedure are involved in the pathophysiology of intradialytic hypotension and intradialytic hypertension. Correction of patient factors, modulation of HD prescription, and management of pharmacologic agents are the strategies to deal with adverse intradialytic BP changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemodialysis with the Hemocontrol biofeedback system (HHD) is associated with improved haemodynamic stability compared with standard haemodialysis (HD) (SHD). Although the beneficial effect of HHD on haemodynamic stability is generally explained by its effect on blood volume, we questioned whether additional factors could play a role. Since HHD is associated with higher initial dialysate sodium concentrations and ultrafiltration (UF) rate, we studied whether the beneficial effect of HHD on haemodynamic stability may be explained by an increased release of the vasoconstrictor arginine vasopressin (AVP). METHODS Fifteen chronic dialysis patients underwent SHD and HHD in random order. All other treatment factors were identical and patients served as their own control. Plasma levels of AVP were measured pre-dialysis, at 30 and 60 min intra-dialysis and, next, hourly until completion of the dialysis session. RESULTS Plasma AVP levels did not change significantly during SHD, whereas AVP levels rose significantly within 30 min after the start of HHD (P < 0.01). AVP levels were significantly higher at 30 and 60 min of HHD in comparison with SHD (P < 0.05). Dialysis hypotension occurred significantly less frequent during HHD than during SHD (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HHD is associated with higher initial AVP levels compared with SHD. The enhanced release of the vasoconstrictor AVP with HHD could contribute to the lower frequency of dialysis hypotension by facilitating fluid removal during the first part of the dialysis session, permitting lower UF rates during the second half of the dialysis session.
