Low Sodium Dialysate and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement Parameters

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is related with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Hypertension (HT) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorder among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study going to investigate the effectivity of low-sodium dialysate on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) levels detected by ABPM and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients undergoing sustained hemodialysis treatment. Methods: The study will be included 46 patients who had creatinine clearance levels less than 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 and had been on chronic HD treatment for at least one year. After the enrollment stage, the patients will be allocated low-sodium dialysate or standard-sodium dialysate for six months via computer-generated randomization.
