Introduction: Dialytic high blood pressure (DHBP), although often ignored,\nis now recognized as a recurring and persistent phenomenon in a subgroup of\nhemodialysized patients. Its occurrence is associated with an increased risk of\nhospitalization and death. The objective of the study was to determine the\nprevalence of intradialytic hypertension and the factors associated with it.\nMethods: Study was cross-sectional, monocentric, descriptive and analytical\nover a three-month period from April 22 to July 22, 2019. Included were all\npatients 18 years of age or older, chronic hemodialysis for at least three\nmonths, with intra-dialytic high blood pressure. The blood pressure machine\nused for the majority of patients was an electronic â??OMRONâ? blood pressure\nmonitor. Epidemiological, clinical, para clinical and dialysis parameters were\nstudied. The data were collected, captured and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics\nVersion 20 software. The factors associated with intradialytic high\nblood pressure were searched using a univariate logistic regression model.\nThe significance threshold for all statistical tests has been set at 5%. Results:\nOf our 131 patients, 53 had intradialytic hypertension, a frequency of 40.5%.\nThe time of (DHBP) occurrence was more frequent at the 3rd and 2nd hour,\n94.34% and 86.79%, respectively. The average age of patients was 45.51 years\nwith extremes ranging from 19 to 70 years. The average Systolic Blood Pressure......................
