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
