Why the blood pressure level goes high after dialysis ?
1. Fluid overload: Kidney produces urine by discharging excess fluid out of the body. Failed kidneys can not take the fluid (water) off, thus the blood pressure is high.
2. Excess wastes in blood: For kidney failure patients who are on dialysis, their kidneys fail to keep balance of electrolyte and remove wastes in the blood. These harmful substances may deposit in vascular wall and make blood vessels stiffer, which also can cause high blood pressure.
3. EPO shot: Some dialysis patients receive EPO shot which can stimulate the bone marrow to make more blood cells. This helps to remit renal anemia, but in other ways, it contributes to elevated blood pressure.
