Why Hypotension Occurs during Dialysis. Hypotension is a common complication of hemodialysis. It is reported that up to 20 percent to 50 percent patients can experience low blood pressure sometime during dialysis. Severe drop of blood pressure may induce arrhythmia and make the patients discontinue dialysis. There are multiple causes why a patient experience hypotension, but having any of the following conditions increases peopleâs risks of experiencing low blood pressure during dialysis: ï¹¡Being old-aged.
Muscle Cramping (Hemodialysis) Muscle cramping of the hands, feet, and legs is fairly common on hemodialysis. The cause of muscle cramping is unknown. However, three conditions that seem to increase cramping are: 1) hypotension; 2) the patient being below dry weight; and 3) use of low sodium dialysis solution. Muscle cramps are more commonly associated with low blood pressure.
