abstract：BACKGROUND:Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a major challenge to safely performing haemodialysis. Blood volume depletion due to fluid removal is a major cause of hypotension, so more emphasis should be placed on finding alternative modalities to traditional constant rate ultrafiltration. SUMMARY:Intermittent back-fi...

abstract：:Haemodialysis is associated with increased oxidant stress. This appears to be due to (1) an increased production of free radicals during haemodialysis, (2) a net reduction of many antioxidants and (3) factors intrinsic to the uremic state. These alterations can lead to cardiovascular disease and many of the pathologie...
