Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of sequential blood purification on early morning hypertension in hemodialysis patients. Methods: A total of 76 hemodialysis patients who were admitted in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Hospital from June 2017 to August 2019 were selected and recruited in the present study. These patients were randomly divided into two groups, namely the control group and observation group. Each group consisted of 38 patients. The patients in the control group were treated with hemodialysis, while the patients in the observation group were treated with sequential blood purification. Early morning blood pressure was compared between the control group and observation group after 12 weeks of treatment. Results: There was no significant difference in blood pressure between the two groups of patients before treatment (P > 0.05), whereas the blood pressure in the observation group was lower than that in the control group after the treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of sequential blood purification treatment for hemodialysis patients can significantly reduce the blood pressure in the morning and is worthy of clinical use.
