Objective: In this study, we investigated how predialysis and post-dialysis blood pressure values measured in routine practice differ from the blood pressure values measured accordingly to the standards, as suggested by the guidelines. Material and Methods: This study was performed with 76 hemodialysis patients. After the patients came to the hemodialysis center, blood pressure measurement was performed accordingly to the standards as recommended by the guidelines. After the standard blood pressure of the patients were measured, routine predialysis blood pressures were measured. After dialysis was completed, post-dialysis blood pressure measurements of patients accordingly to routine and standards were performed. Results: The mean predialysis standard systolic blood pressure (SBP) value was lower than the mean routine SBP value (129 ± 25 vs.134 ± 25 mmHg; p< 0.0001). The mean predialysis standard diastolic blood pressure (DBP) value as well as lower than the mean routine DBP value (74 ± 12 vs. 77 ± 14 mmHg; p<0.0001). The mean post-dialysis SBP values were not significantly different between the standard and routine measurements (115 ± 24 vs 113 ± 26; p>0.05). The mean post-dialysis standard DBP measurement was higher than the routine DBP (71±12 vs. 68±14 mmHg; p=0.043). Conclusion: Predialysis standard SBP and DBP measurements are usually lower than the routine measurements.
