Description

Summary

The main study will be a two arm 10-month, cross-over randomized controlled trial of 200 participants treated with end-stage-kidney-disease treated with in-center hemodialysis in the Seattle and San Francisco area comparing a strategy of targeting home vs. pre-dialysis systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg to reduce rates of intradialytic hypotension. The target systolic blood pressure of <140 mmHg in both treatment groups will be achieved using an algorithm of dry weight adjustment and anti-hypertensive medication adjustment.

The main study be a two arm 10-month, cross-over randomized controlled trial of 200 participants treated with in-center hemodialysis in the Seattle and San Francisco area comparing a strategy of targeting home vs. pre-dialysis systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg in reducing rates of intradialytic hypotension. The target systolic blood pressure of 100-140 mmHg will be achieved using an algorithm of volume management and anti-hypertensive medication adjustment every two weeks. Home blood pressure measures will be recorded throughout via a mobile health blood pressure monitor over the 10-month study.

Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18 years and up

  • Aged 18 years or older
  • Undergoing in-center, thrice weekly hemodialysis for treatment of end stage renal disease (ESRD)
  • Greater than 3 months since initiation of dialysis
  • No anticipated change to peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplant within 10 months
  • Life expectancy greater than 10 months
  • Hypertension (defined as mean pre-dialysis SBP > 140 mmHg over prior 2 weeks or taking BP medications)
  • Able to obtain/measure a brachial blood pressure at dialysis and at home (e.g., no left ventricular assist device, blood pressure not been taken routinely in lower extremity at dialysis unit)
  • No condition that the primary nephrologist or PIs feel precludes participation

You CAN'T join if...

  • Incarcerated or institutionalized (prohibits home blood pressure measurement)
  • Participating in another intervention study that may affect blood pressure
  • Pregnant or anticipated pregnancy or breastfeeding (as this will require increase to more than three times a week dialysis and/or preclude use of some classes of blood pressure medications)
