First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to measure blood pressure in 90 people with severe kidney disease. The new method uses a different part of the blood pressure wave, and researchers wanted to see if it works as well as the standard arm cuff method. The goal was to find a more accurate way to measure blood pressure in these patients.
