Cardiovascular accidents are the commonest cause of death in patients on intermittent haemodialysis. Our study concerns 158 adult patients in terminal renal failure who were treated by periodic dialysis; it was carried out at Necker Hospital between January 1967 and December 1970. Between these dates, 35 patients died, 17 of the deaths being due to unequivocal or probable cardiovascular complications. The diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident was made in 13 cases. The mean age of the patients who died was 38 years. Fatal cerebrovascular accidents occurred especially during the first 12 to 24 months of treatment. The incidence of fatal vascular accidents is greatest in patients who were hypertensive at the beginning of periodic dialysis, and who remained so after six months of dialysis. Our study has therefore shown that hypertension in patients on chronic haemodialysis is a major vascular risk factors; other risk factors, especially metabolic ones, may also play a part.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
