Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Adjustment of dialysate sodium concentration during haemodialysis within the range 135 to 145mmol/L to achieve net zero diffusive sodium flux as part of standard local clinical practice in patients receiving haemodialysis that experience intradialytic hypertension. The sodium flux will be determined by simultaneous sampling of pre and post dialyser blood, with pre and post dialyser dialysate sampling for confirmation. The initial dialysate sodium will be set at 140mmol/L and then adjusted iteratively at 3 consecutive dialysis sessions then continued indefinitely at that concentration. Patients will be observed for 2 months following the assessment of dialysate sodium flux, whether or not this assessment results in a change in dialysate sodium.
Adjustment will be according to the formula
New dialysate sodium = [Current dialysate Na] + ([Na]arterial - [Na]venous)

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306208 0
Presence of intradialytic hypertension. This will be assessed by query of the electronic medical record 2 months after patients undergo assessment of dialysate sodium flux, whether or not this assessment has resulted in a change in the dialysate sodium concentration.
Timepoint [1] 306208 0
Two months after the assessment of dialysate sodium flux, whether or not this assessment has resulted in a change in dialysate sodium.
Secondary outcome [1] 347880 0
Thirst by use of a Likert scale administered prior to assessment of dialysate sodium flux and again 1 month later.
Timepoint [1] 347880 0
1 month after assessment of dialysate sodium flux

Stopped early
Data analysis
Data analysis is complete
Reason for early stopping/withdrawal
Other reasons/comments
Other reasons
Treatment did not appear to have any effect on intradialytic hypertension so intervention was no longer offered to patients.
