Abstract
Hypertension is a common problem in pediatric patients undergoing chronic dialysis. Acutely this can result in left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure; chronically it likely contributes to the excessive cardiovascular mortality in adults with childhood-onset end-stage renal disease. Volume overload is the most common cause and requires significant effort to achieve and maintain dry weight. Techniques that may be helpful in such patients include 44-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for assessment of blood pressure control, and blood volume monitoring or bioimpedance to help establish true dry weight.
