Management of Hypertension in Pediatric Dialysis Patients

  • First Online:
Pediatric Dialysis

Abstract

Hypertension is common among both peritoneal and hemodialysis patients. It is an important modifiable condition, and one of the most important contributors to the excess morbidity and mortality in this population. Accurate diagnosis with appropriate blood pressure measurement, especially with the use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, is crucial in order to achieve optimal blood pressure control. Achievement of dry weight during dialysis and avoidance of excessive interdialytic weight gain are the most important therapeutic strategies. When hypertension persists despite the achievement of euvolemia, antihypertensive medications may be required, and in some patients, native kidney nephrectomies.
