Abstract
Background: Hypertension is highly prevalent and uncontrolled among hemodialysis patients. In Pakistan published data does not provide enough information about the management and factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension in hemodialysis patients.
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing the pharmacotherapeutic management and control of hypertension in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: A prospective follow-up study was conducted on hemodialysis patients who were enrolled at study sites between 1 June 2020 and 31 December 2020. The predialysis blood pressure (BP) readings were recorded as mean SBP and DBP at baseline and for each of 6 months. Multivariate analyses were applied to analyze the factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension in hemodialysis patients.
Results: The average predialysis BP (SBP and DBP) of study participants at baseline visit was 158.41 and 87.22 mmHg respectively. After 6 months the study participants have 150.27 mmHg and 80.03 mmHg average predialysis SBP and DBP respectively. Only 28.1% of hemodialysis patients were on target BP after 6 months. Results of multivariate analysis have shown that the use of beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were significantly associated with hypertension control at baseline [odds ratio (OR) = 1.432, P value = 0.034] (OR = 1.499, P value = 0.045) and at after 6 months (OR = 2.824, P value = 0.015) (OR = 1.883, P value = 0.032).
Conclusion: This study revealed that among the antihypertensive drugs, CCBs and beta-blockers provided better management in controlling hypertension among hemodialysis patients.
期刊介绍:
Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research.
This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
