- I am a hemodialysis patient.
- My blood pressure before dialysis is greater than 140 mmHg on average over 2 weeks.
- My blood pressure after dialysis is greater than 130 mmHg on average over 2 weeks.
You may not be able to join if
- I have been on hemodialysis for less than 2 months.
- I am pregnant.
- My average blood pressure is below 95 mmHg during the screening period.
