Introduction: Hypertension, often associated with hypervolemia, is common in chronic hemodialysis patients. However, the relationship between interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and blood pressure (BP) is incompletely characterized. Our study seeks to appreciate the relationship between IDWG and BP in a cohort of chronic hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: It is a prospective study involving 52 chronic hemodialysis patients and 528 dialysis sessions following a hemodialysis program of 3 times a week, where BP and IDWG were measured before the session. The dialysis sessions occurred over a period of 30 days from January 02 to 30, 2019 in the Hemodialysis unit of Mohammed V Military Training Hospital. Demographic data and dialytic parameters were collected over a 30-day period then analyzed using the following statistical tools: correlation coefficient r, simple linear regression (univariate analysis) and multiple linear regression............
