Long-Term Peridialytic Blood Pressure Patterns in Patients Treated by Hemodialysis and Hemodiafiltration.

21 , 24 Considering the highly significant but, admittedly, small decreases in SBP and DBP, it is questionable whether these findings (mean predialytic: −2.16 mm Hg and −2.88 mm Hg in 2 years, respectively) have any impact on the clinical outcome and cardiac death. 1 However, as extensively discussed elsewhere, 15 in the general population, SBP tends to rise steadily during the entire life, whereas DBP flattens in midlife and decreases in the years thereafter.
