A sudden drop in blood pressure during a dialysis session, occurring in 20-30% of sessions and representing the most common intradialytic complication.
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure by ≥20 mmHg or a decrease in mean arterial pressure by ≥10 mmHg with clinical symptoms. It is caused by rapid fluid removal exceeding the rate of vascular refilling. Risk factors include high UF rates, low dry weight, autonomic neuropathy, cardiac dysfunction, and low dialysate sodium. Management includes Trendelenburg positioning, saline bolus, reducing UF rate, and adjusting dialysate temperature/sodium. ZuvFlo's AI layer monitors vital trends to predict IDH episodes before they occur.
The process of removing excess fluid from a patient's blood during dialysis by applying pressure across the dialyzer membrane.
The target body weight of a dialysis patient after all excess fluid has been removed — the weight at which blood pressure is normal without medication.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
A sudden drop in blood pressure during a dialysis session, occurring in 20-30% of sessions and representing the most common intradialytic complication.
