Abstract

In Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD), Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH) is a significant issue, occurring in around 15–30% of dialysis sessions and greatly affecting patient well-being and health outcomes. This study followed a group of 50 MHD patients for six months to investigate the frequency, prevalence, and causes of IDH. The findings revealed that having a low serum albumin level (<3.5 g/dL) was the most reliable indicator of IDH (OR: 4.1, 95% CI: 2.3–7.2, p
