Intradialytic hypotension is the most frequent side effect of a hemodialysis treatment, and of great concern for us in providing you with a safe hemodialysis treatment. Intradialytic hypotension is defined by a sudden, symptomatic drop in blood pressure. We strive to avoid such episodes during each of your dialysis treatments, but at times it is difficult depending on the amount of fluid gained during the treatment. There are several dynamics that come into play when evaluating your fluid status: we evaluate you through nursing assessments, by determing over time how much fluid we can safely remove each treatment, and the use of the Hct-Line, used as a tool to evaluate how much weight you have on, and if we can safely pull it.
