The fluctuation of Blood pressure within a certain period of time is called Blood pressure variability (BPV). Recent studies have confirmed its value in predicting cardiovascular events and death. However, large changes in hemodynamics and internal environment in dialysis patients due to dialysis treatment in a short period of time, often face more complex blood pressure variability. At present, there are a variety of research on BPV, and the pathogenesis and influencing factors of BPV are numerous. In this paper, the variability of blood pressure in maintenance hemodialysis patients and its influencing factors were reviewed to provide reference for the management of hypertension in dialysis patients.
