Description
Shan Lan and Zhibin Wu examine in 2026 seasonal swings in blood pressure among 154 patients on long-term hemodialysis, the blood-cleaning treatment for kidney failure. Pressure readings collected between 2018 and 2021 were compared across seasons and split by sex, age, and original kidney disease. The authors also tracked dangerous pressure spikes and drops during dialysis sessions plus heart and brain events.
Pressure ran lowest in summer and highest in winter for everyone. Older patients and men carried higher readings in every season, and patients over sixty showed seasonal swings nearly twice as wide as the youngest group. Cold months brought more pressure spikes during dialysis, more cardiovascular events, and higher mortality. Adjusting for medicines and fluid removal did not erase the pattern, so the authors urge season-aware management for older men especially.
