- We suggest, for those on haemodialysis where non-standardised in-centre BP measurements are used, aiming for:
- pre-dialysis systolic BP between 140 and 165 mmHg (2B) and pre-dialysis diastolic BP between 60 and 100 mmHg. (2C)
- post-dialysis systolic BP between 120 and 140 mmHg and post-dialysis diastolic BP of ≥70 mmHg (2C)
- We suggest aiming for the lower end of the systolic BP ranges in recommendation 5a, unless this results in an increased frequency of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and/or in those with a prior history of frequent IDH (2D)
- We suggest that factors such as age and comorbidities may be used to determine an individual patient’s target BP range. For younger people or those with fewer co-morbidities, a lower systolic BP range than suggested in recommendation 5a can be considered. (2C)
- We suggest that clinic BP should be <140/90 in people on peritoneal dialysis. (2C)
