  • Title: [Hemodynamic changes during ultrafiltration and hemodialysis in uremia].
    Author: Wehle B, Asaba H, Castenfors J, Fürst P, Gunnarsson B, Bergström J.
    Journal: Z Urol Nephrol; 1979 Jan; 72(1):3-8. PubMed ID: 425732.
    Abstract:
    1. The ultrafiltration causes a reduction of blood pressure and minute output of the heart which is compensated by vasoconstriction and thus a decrease of blood pressure is prevented. 2. Changes in the salt concentrations with reduction of the osmolarity during the dialysis without simultaneous ultrafiltration lead to vasodilation and hypotension despite increase of the minute output of the heart. 3. During a usual haemodialysis (i.e. dialysis with simultaneous ultrafiltration) the vasodilating effect of the dialysis may abolish the vasoconstrictive effect of the ultrafiltration and thus may be the cause of the hypotension.
