Abstract

Background: hypertension is a majority comorbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), ye it is prevalence, control rates, and optimal management strategies in clinical practices remain inadequately characterized

Objectives: the study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension, evaluated blood pressure control rates , identify associated factors, and assess the effectiveness of management strategies in CKD patients receiving MHD

Methods: In this observational study, 50 CKD patients undergoing MHD were evaluated. Data on demographic characteristics, blood pressure measurements, antihypertensives medications, dietary adherence, and complications were collected through medical record review. Hypertension control was defined as <140/90 mmHg according to JNC 7 guidelines.

 Results: the prevalence of hypertension was 94% (47/50) with only 25% (12/47) achieving blood pressure control. A significant association was found between uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes mellitus (p=0.03), with 87.2% of patients requiring antihypertensives medications, notably patients adhering to strict sodium restrictions (<2g/day) demonstrated significantly higher control rates (63.2%) compared to non-adherent patients (0%).

Conclusion: hypertension is highly prevalent but poorly controlled in CKD patients on MHD. These overall findings emphasize the need for a paradigm shift toward non-pharmacological interventions as foundational therapy to improve hypertension control and reduce complications in this high-risk population
