The Association of Weekly pre-Hemodialysis Systolic Blood Pressure and Following Week Mortality

Conclusion: This study confirms an association of L preSBP with increased short-term mortality which is maintained over the first HD year. Percent of L preSBP in prior weeks, switching between L and H, and “current” week L are all associated with short-term mortality risk, but “current” week L preSBP is most significant.Kidney Blood Press Res 2018;43:88 –97
