Dialysis danger: what causes blood pressure to crash during treatment?
NCT ID NCT07545629
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 395 adults on long-term dialysis to find out how often their blood pressure drops dangerously during treatment and what makes it more likely. Researchers collected information on patients' health history, medications, and dialysis settings. The goal is to help doctors spot high-risk patients and adjust dialysis to prevent these drops.
