(a) In HD patients with intradialytic hypotension, predialysis endotoxin levels were significantly correlated with (i) inflammation; (ii) the number of myocardial stunned segments; (iii) intradialytic hypotension; and (iv) predialysis cardiac troponin T, a marker of myocardial damage. (b) Postdialysis endotoxin levels were significantly correlated with ultrafiltration volume.
