Blood pressure (BP) management in hemodialysis patients remains challenging, in part due to the BP changes during and between dialysis treatments. Although a modest reduction in BP from pre to postdialysis occurs in most patients, other patients experience either increases or large decreases in BP that are now known to be associated with increased mortality. The immediate goal of avoiding hypotension during dialysis is to ensure patient safety and limit unpleasant symptoms. Long-term goals are to avoid recurrent hypoperfusion of vital organs and avoid interruptions in ultrafiltration that can result in chronic extracellular volume overload, an independent mortality risk factor. Traditional definitions of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) have been stated in clinical practice guidelines (reduction in systolic BP> 20 mm Hg with corresponding symptoms), but a more recent study validated the mortality risk associated with the definition of nadir systolic BP< 90 mm Hg in at least 30% of exposure treatments [1]. In this issue of American Journal of Nephrology, Kuipers et al.[2] acknowledge that the demographic of hemodialysis patients has changed over time as have the interventions used to minimize IDH. They aimed to quantify the updated prevalence of the traditional and novel definitions of IDH.In this meta-analysis, the authors reviewed studies from the past 28 years (final analysis included 23 studies out of> 3,000 screened) that addressed IDH prevalence using a variety of definitions but focusing mostly on a decrease in systolic BP> 20 mm Hg with clinical symptoms or intervention or a nadir systolic BP< 90 mm Hg. Using the former definition, they found the prevalence of IDH to range from 5 to 31% with a mean prevalence of 9.7%. The prevalence ranged from 4 to 17% when the systolic BP nadir< 90 mm Hg was used with a mean prevalence of 4.7% in the final analysis. They found the proportion of patients that experienced IDH to range from 6 to 77 and 10 to 75% for the respective definitions, but they did not conduct a meta-analysis of these outcomes due to differences in the qualifying frequency of IDH (1 treatment to 30% of treatments). Not surprisingly, the presence of diabetes and large interdialytic weight gain were frequently reported in the individual studies as risk factors for IDH. Further conclusions were that the absolute decrease and symptoms definition of IDH was consistently reported as 10% other than in studies where multiple episodes in a single treatment were included, but the systolic nadir< 90 mm Hg was more heterogeneous across different studies. The authors acknowledged that limitations of their analysis were the differences in observation period or standardized approach to how intradialytic symptoms were ascertained.
