Different Ultrafiltration Rates and Intradialytic Hypotension.

Sohag University50 enrolled

Overview

Finding relationship between different ultrafiltration rates and intradialytic hypotension in attempt to find the optimal cut off points.

This observational study will be carried upon hemodialysis patients with different ultrafiltration rates at each session to study the association between ultrafiltration rates and intradialytic hypotension. Thus identifying the optimal cut off of ultrafiltration rate points for each patient
