Hypertension control among euvolemic hypertensive hemodialysis patients in Malaysia: a prospective follow-up study.

This study involved a group of patients from tertiary-level teaching hospital and its associated private dialysis centers of Malaysia.To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to assess the factors influencing pre-dialysis controlled hypertension in a cohort of 145 euvolemic HD patients in a Malaysian setting.For determining the factors influencing hypertenion control multivariate analysis was conducted.Being a prospective follow-up study, the findings of the present study need to be interpreted with caution since it is limited to only 6 months follow up.Nevertheless, a multicenter study with a large sample size and longer follow up time is needed to confirm the findings of the current study.
