Weak Soft Evidence
• Small number of patients were
tested by different studies
• Conflicting and contradictory
results
• Study design may not be
strong enough
Mechanism Treatment
Volume overload • Bioimpedence dry weight assessment
• Extended dialysis session or daily short sessions
Net sodium gain • Check predialysis sodium level, minimize NaG
Removal of ant-HTN medications • Non Dialyzable drug (Carvedilol)
Sympathetic over-activity
Activation of the RAAS
• Inhibition of RAAS
• Adrenergic blockers such as alpha- and beta-
blockers (Carvedilol)
Endothelial cell dysfunction • Specific ET1 antagonists (such as avosentan) !!
• Nonspecific ET1 inhibitors (RAAS-i or carvedilol)
High ionized calcium • Avoid high Ca path if available
Hypokalemia • Avoid low K path if available
ESAs • Avoid ESA administration during HD session
Low SaO2 • Monitor SaO2 during HD session
