WCN25-2166 A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF REMOTE ISCHAEMIA PRECONDITIONING ON THE REDUCTION OF MYOCARDIAL INJURY IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENTS UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE HAEMODIALYSIS

CKD and is the leading cause of death globally [2].Hypertension presents in approximately 80-85% of patients with CKD[3]KDIGO criteria for blood pressure (BP) for control of BP in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is <140/90 mm of Hg.It has been found that about 30% of patients have well-controlled HTN, while 56% were uncontrolled (4).We looked at the control of blood pressure amongst CKD on haemodialysis in our centre.Methods: Single-centre cross-sectional study, enrolling ESKD undergoing MHD patients undergoing dialysis at R.L Jalappa Hospital, Tamaka, Kolar, the only tertiary care centre in the district.Demography, comorbidity status, relevant history, and laboratory information were collected from Jan to June 2024 prospectively for the study.All patients above 16 years, and who had undergone continuous dialysis for at least one month were included in the study.A total of 100 patients were found eligible and were included in the study.The patients underwent 4 hour hemodialysis twice/thrice weekly.BP recordings taken were a mean of home BP recordings and intradialytic and postdialytic measurements.The estimated sample size was 80 with a 95 % confidence interval.
