Summary

This study was designed to discover mechanisms responsible for the decrease in (high) blood pressure after starting daily hemodialysis, as has been observed by various investigators. We hypothesized that better control of body water and sodium content and a decline in the autonomic (sympathetic) nervous system activity, increased in chronic renal failure patients, would contribute to improved blood pressure regulation.

Moreover, we studied the effects of daily hemodialysis on mental functions, like information processing and memory, in relation to the previously reported improvement in quality of life, and the effects on nutrition. We hypothesized that all would improve.
