Variability in Predialysis Systolic Blood Pressure and Long-Term Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients

Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrate that greater variability in predialysis SBP is associated with long-term mortality in hemodialysis patients. Controlling volume variation, avoiding hypoalbuminemia and reducing blood calcium levels might reduce SBP variability and thereby improve prognoses in these patients.Kidney Blood Press Res 2018;43:115 –124
