Risk factors analysis of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. The maintenance hemodialysis patients diagnosed as superior vena cava stenosis ≥50% or occlusion in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022 were selected. The patients were divided into hypotensive group and non-hypotensive group according to the occurrence of hypotension during non-dialysis period. The differences of general clinical data, cardiac ultrasound parameters and blood biochemical indexes between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava lesions.Results:A total of 202 patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava lesions were included, of whom 84 patients (41.6%) developed hypotension during non-dialysis. Compared with the non-hypotensive group, patients in the hypotensive group had longer dialysis age ( Z=2.093, P=0.036), shorter left atrial diameter ( t=2.316, P=0.022), lower aortic valve orifice flow rate ( t=3.702, P=0.001) and serum calcium ( t=2.320, P=0.021), thicker left ventricular posterior wall ( t=3.042, P=0.003), lower proportions of hypertension history ( χ2=9.125, P=0.003), and higher proportion of residual superior vena cava ≤30% or occlusion ( χ2=8.940, P=0.003) and azygous vein opening ( χ2=11.067, P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that no history of hypertension ( OR=0.383, 95% CI 0.156-0.943, P=0.037), slow aortic valve orifice flow ( OR=0.207, 95% CI 0.062-0.695, P=0.011) and low blood calcium ( OR=0.236, 95% CI 0.066-0.841, P=0.026) were the independent influencing factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases. Conclusions:Hemodialysis patients with severe stenosis or occlusion of the superior vena cava during non-dialysis have a higher risk of hypotension. No history of hypertension, slow aortic valve orifice flow, and low blood calcium are the independent risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases.
