The Effect of Profiled Hemodialysis on Intradialytic Hemodynamics when a Proper Sodium Balance Is Applied

Abstract

Sodium-balanced, Na-profiled HD improves blood pressure preservation in stable HD patients without providing the patients with a sodium load. This effect is due to a better stroke volume preservation early in dialysis, without a significant reduction in blood volume decrease. UF-HD, as mono-therapy, has no beneficial effect on intradialytic hemodynamics in stable patients.
