Is endothelium-derived relaxing factor important in mediating the high output state in chronic severe anemia?
These findings support the hypothesis that enhanced basal endothelium-derived relaxing factor activity makes an important contribution to the low systemic vascular resistance in chronic severe anemia.
Fewer hours of delivered dialysis are associated with a higher systolic BP. Upon probing dry weight, compared with shorter dialysis treatment times, 4 h of delivered dialysis per session provokes reductions in systolic BP over fewer dialysis treatment sessions. Reduction of BP may lag dry-weight reduction when shorter dialysis is delivered.
