The number of treatments for intradialytic hypotension in NV and PS/PES groups. a The total number of treatments was not significantly different between NV and PS/PES groups during the whole study period. However, in NV group, it decreased significantly compared with that in pre-observation period. In contrast, in PS/PES group, the total number of treatments did not decrease significantly. b–h In NV group, the number of every treatment decreased at sixth month compared as that in pre-observation period. Especially, the number of dialysis discontinuation and leg elevation decreased significantly at fifth and sixth month. Conversely, in PS/PES group, the number of some treatments such as decrease of ultrafiltration rate and dialysis discontinuation increased and the others such as saline administration and leg elevation decreased. UFR: ultrafiltration rate. UF: ultrafiltration. ECUM: extracorporeal ultrafiltration method. All values are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.01. **P < 0.05
