Background
Overhydration is often found in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). There is no clear association between fluid overload and hypertension in this population. Since short dwells are associated with decreased sodium removal because of peritoneal sodium sieving, we hypothesized that impaired sodium dipping may be associated with worse blood pressure (BP) control.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional analysis of prevalent patients on PD. We evaluated sodium dipping (dialysate sodium dipping after 1 hour with 4.5% glucose bag), fluid overload (excess extracellular volume ≥ 0.39 measured by bioimpedance spectroscopy) and BP control (high BP was defined as office-measured values > 140/90 mmHg).
Results
47 patients (age 52 ± 18 years, 53% men) were included. Overhydration was found in 62% of patients and high BP in 34% of patients; sodium dipping < 5mmol/L was found in 57% of patients. (Table 1) These patients were characterized by a higher percentage of high BP (81.3% vs 18.8%, p=0.018), despite similar use of antihypertensive drugs, and no difference in overhydration status, membrane transport profile, cycles/volume PD prescription, ultrafiltration volume, and residual renal function. Sodium dipping < 5mmol/L remained significantly associated with high BP in a fully adjusted model (HR 11.8, 95% CI 2.0-68, p=0.006).
Conclusion
The association between lower sodium dipping and poor BP control suggests that dialytic sodium removal should be included as an important parameter of PD adequacy.
