Abstract

Presence of intradialysis hypertension (IDH) could be considered as an independent risk factor for total and cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. Decrease of concentration of highly dialyzable antihypertensive medicines during hemodialysis session is considered to be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms for increasing intradialysis blood pressure.

The aim of the research is to study the nature of antihypertensive therapy in hemodialysis patients, to assess the IDH frequency and to identify the most significant predictors of its development.

Material and methods. A retrospective study of 131 outpatient cards of dialysis patients was carried out. Data of performing medicamentous therapy were recorded with an emphasis on the dialyzability of the medicines used. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 application package.

Results. IDH occurred in 60% of dialysis patients and was associated with the use of beta-blockers (p=0,015), moxonidine (p=0,001), and highly dialysable medicines (p <0,0001). In multifactor model, the use of beta-blockers has lost its significance, giving way to highly dialysable antihypertensive medicines and moxonidine.

Conclusion. Analysis of the characteristics of drug therapy demonstrated the predominance of highly dialyzable medicines in the treatment of patients at hemodialysis. Use of medicines with high dialysis clearance was associated with an increased IDH incidence (OR 5,585; 95% CI: 2,49–12,54; p <0,0001).
