Summary

This study tested whether giving mannitol (a type of sugar solution) during dialysis can help prevent low blood pressure and reduce symptoms like dizziness or nausea. It involved 31 adults who were prone to low blood pressure during their regular dialysis sessions. Each person received both mannitol and a placebo at different times, and researchers compared their symptoms and blood pressure stability.
