Hi I have gone through your post,
Low blood pressure during dialysis may be due to
1. Excessive water removal, than the weight gain between dialysis 2. New onset cardiac problem
3.if the patient is having any internal infection
4. If patient is taking BP medicine before going to dialysis
Clearly may be any one of them
If the BP is low , dialysis may not be adequately done.
Next Steps
2D Echo,ECG
Health Tips
Stop taking BP medicine before dialysis schedule
