Factors Associated With Intradialytic Hypotension In Chronic Renal Failure Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis Therapy In Hemodialysis Unit Dr. Achmad Mochtar General Hospital, Bukitinggi

Abstract

Hypotension is a potential complication of hemodialysis. Hypotension is considered the most important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular complications that are main cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Hypotension associated with excess mortality.Purposes of this study was to examine factors that related to the intradialytic hypotension in patients undergoing hemodialysis at Dr. Achmad Hemodialisa Mochtar General Hospital, Bukittinggi. This research is analytical correlation with cross sectional approach. Sample of this research were patients who underwent hemodialysis who met inclusion criteria. Sampling technique is purposive sampling with the number of samples as much as 39 respondents.Data Collection in this study used by observation sheets and other instruments, namely a sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure and hemodialysis machine monitors to see the rate of ultrafiltration. Analysis of univariate and bivariate with Chi Square Test. Twovariables analysis showed there was no correlation between intradialysis hypotension and age and gender (p value> 0.005) and ultrafiltration rate intradialisis had no association with hypotension (p value <0.05). The study conclude that hemodialysis associated with hypotension remains one of the main complications of hemodialysis In suggestions for future studies for the addition of other risk factors of hypotension intradialisis is a important challenge to the nephrologist
