Description
Xiaomei Jiang and colleagues published a 2026 cross-sectional study of how often blood pressure drops during dialysis relate to anxiety, depression, and poor sleep. They enrolled 467 patients on maintenance hemodialysis at four centers in Suzhou, China, reviewing 16,812 treatment sessions for intradialytic hypotension, the sudden pressure fall that complicates dialysis. Standard questionnaires measured anxiety, depression, and sleep quality for comparison.
Pressure drops occurred in 11.7 percent of sessions, and about a quarter of patients experienced them frequently. Anxiety affected 30.4 percent of the sample, depression 44.3 percent, and poor sleep roughly 40 percent. Patients with frequent pressure drops scored significantly worse on all three symptom measures after adjustment for other factors. Because the design captures one point in time, the authors cannot say which problem causes the other. They recommend pairing blood pressure monitoring with routine psychological and sleep screening in dialysis care.
