1 Chapter - BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL AND DYSLIPIDAEMIA IN PATIENTS ON DIALYSIS S. Prasad Meo Hooi Lai Seog Lee Wa Ti Suita Bavaada

2 ST REPORT OF THE MALAYSIAN DIALYSIS AND TRANSPLANT REGISTRY SECTION.: BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL ON DIALYSIS For the first time i the aalysis of data o blood pressure ad lipid profile i the Malaysia Dialysis ad Trasplat Registry (MDTR), this year s review will also aalyse mortality data i relatio to blood pressure ad lipid profile i dialysis patiets. I, the difficulty i achievig good cotrol of predialysis systolic blood pressure i haemodialysis patiets persisted, with oly % of haemodialysis patiets achievig systolic BP < mmhg (Table.). The mea ad media predialysis systolic blood pressure i haemodialysis patiets i was similar at a relatively high figure of. mmhg. Table.: Distributio of pre dialysis systolic blood pressure, HD patiets - patiets Mea SD % Patiets (mmhg) < -< -< -< Figure.: Cumulative distributio of pre dialysis systolic blood pressure, HD patiets - Cumulative distributio... Pre dialysis Systolic Blood Pressure (mmhg) I cotrast to haemodialysis patiets, predialysis systolic blood pressure was better cotrolled i peritoeal dialysis patiets i, with % of PD patiets havig a predialysis systolic BP < mmhg (Table..). The mea ad media predialysis systolic BP i PD patiets was also lower tha haemodialysis patiets at mmhg ad mmhg respectively. There was little discerable chage i the mea predialysis systolic blood pressure i PD patiets over the past years as illustrated i the data i Table...

The mea ad media predialysis diastolic blood pressure i haemodialysis patiets was satisfactory at. mmhg ad. mmhg respectively i.

There was a slight tred towards a lower mea predialysis diastolic blood pressure i PD patiets over the past years (. mmhg i versus. mmhg i ).

5 ST REPORT OF THE MALAYSIAN DIALYSIS AND TRANSPLANT REGISTRY Whe comparig data amog hemodialysis cetres i Malaysia, there remaied sigificat cetre variatio i media systolic blood pressure i haemodialysis patiets i (Figure..a). I, the differece betwee the HD cetres with the secod lowest (th percetile) ad secod highest media systolic blood pressure (th percetile) was. mmhg (Table..a). Figure..a will be more useful for idividual dialysis cetres to ascertai where their dialysis cetre stads i relatio to other cetres ad perhaps remedial actio ca be istituted if they were idetified as outlier cetres at the extreme ed of the variatio i media systolic blood pressure cotrol (Figure..a & b).

6 ST REPORT OF THE MALAYSIAN DIALYSIS AND TRANSPLANT REGISTRY Similarly for media diastolic blood pressure i haemodialysis patiets, there was also a wide cetre variatio amog haemodialysis cetres i Malaysia i (Figure..b). The differece betwee the HD cetres with the secod lowest (th percetile) ad secod highest (th percetile) media diastolic blood pressure was about. mmhg (Table..b).

The differece betwee the PD cetres with the secod lowest (th percetile) ad the secod highest media systolic blood pressure (th percetile) was. mmhg i (Table..a).

Dialysis patiets with low blood pressure (BP </) were at the highest risk of death compared to all other blood pressure categories. Dialysis patiets with highest blood pressure (BP >/) were the group with the secod highest risk of death. Hece there was a U shaped curve i the relatioship betwee blood pressure ad death i dialysis patiets as illustrated i Figure..a. Table..b details the hazard ratio for death i each of the blood pressure categories, utilisig the BP category of </ as the referece stadard. It was oted that the hazard ratio of all other categories were less tha compared to the referece stadard emphasisig the highest risk of death associated with dialysis patiets with low blood pressure.

However there was o doubt that cardiovascular disease was the major cause of death i dialysis patiets ad correctio of reversible risk factors for CVD should be attempted i most dialysis patiets. I, it was comfortig to kow that % of haemodialysis patiets had total cholesterol <. mmol/l. This was a higher figure tha years ago (% i ) (Table..).
