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.
Because an older body doesn't manage changes in blood pressure as well as a younger body, getting older also can lead to this type of hypotension. Postprandial hypotension (a type of orthostatic hypotension) mostly affects older adults. Postprandial hypotension is a sudden drop in blood pressure after a meal. Certain medical conditions can raise your risk of orthostatic hypotension, including: Heart conditions, such as heart attack, heart valve disease, bradycardia (a very low heart rate), and heart failure.
