Study aim:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using a cooler dialysate temperature (35.5°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, compared to the standard dialysate temperature (37°C). Hemodialysis is a critical life-saving procedure, but complications such as intradialytic hypotension can lead to session interruptions and increased morbidity and mortality. This study is the first, to our knowledge, to specifically examine the benefits of cooler dialysate in a hypotensive ESRD population, with the goal of improving hemodynamic stability during dialysis sessions.
Design:

Main outcome variables:
This double-blind, randomized trial assesses the impact of cooler dialysate (35.5°C) versus standard dialysate (37°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive ESRD patients during hemodialysis.
