Chronic hypotension, infrequent though possible in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis, has harmful consequences on their physical state and hence general well-being. These patients often experience acute intradialytic manifestations while non-pharmacologic interventions as pharmacologic agents are sometimes insufficient to improve symptoms. Well tolerated, midodrine appears to be a suitable and effective agent as it raises blood pressure significantly via its effect on peripheral alpha-adrenergic receptors. The authors describe their use of midodrine in a dialysis patient for the longest period of time reported up to now, documented by a pharmacokinetic study, confirming long-term both clinical efficacy and safety of the drug. |
