Serum Albumin and C-Reactive Protein as Predictors of Intradialytic Hypotension in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on Maintenance Hemodialysis: A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study

Key takeaways

Researchers compared dialysis patients whose blood pressure crashed during treatment with patients whose did not, then looked at two blood tests: albumin, a protein tied to nutrition, and C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. The idea is that low albumin and high inflammation could flag who is at risk before a session starts. This is a case-control study, so it shows a link, not proof that low albumin or inflammation causes the drop. The record we received carried no abstract, so the number of patients is not available here.
