Abstract
Hypertension is common in hemodialysis patients and can often be difficult to control. Considering the high cardiovascular burden in hemodialysis patients, control of blood pressure is important to improve outcomes. First-line interventions for blood pressure control should focus on sodium restriction, adequate sodium removal during hemodialysis, and attaining an adequate “dry weight.†Despite these interventions, adequate blood pressure control with thrice weekly hemodialysis typically requires the addition of pharmacologic agents.
