Background. Intradialytic morbid events (IME, mostly hypotension) mainly due to ultrafiltration-induced hypovolaemia still are the most frequent complication during haemodialysis (HD). This study was performed to test the hypothesis that there is an individual critical relative blood volume (RBVcrit) in IME-prone HD patients.Methods. In this prospective international multicentre study, 60 IME-prone patients from nine dialysis centres were observed during up to 21 standard HD sessions without trial-specific intervention. The RBV was monitored continuously by an ultrasonic method (BVM; blood volume monitor). Also, the ultrafiltration rate was registered continuously. Blood pressure was measured at regular intervals, and more frequently during IME. All IME and specific therapeutic interventions were noted.Results. In total, 537 IME, some with more than one symptom, were documented during 585 HD sessions. The occurrence of IME increased up to 10-fold from the start to the end of the HD session. RBVcrit showed a wide inter-individual range, varying from 71 to 98%. However, the intra-individual RBV limit was relatively stable, with an SD of
