Rate of Blood Pressure Control Among Hypertensive Patients With Hemodialysis in Sohag University Hospital

The goal of this Cross-sectional study is to detect hypertensive patients with hemodialysis in Sohag University Hospital and controlled patients and noncontrolled patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the pattern of blood pressure control among patients receiving hemodialysis?
2. What are factors associated with successful blood pressure control?
3. What is the level of patient knowledge and awareness regarding blood pressure management?
4. What are the challenges and barriers faced by patients in achieving optimal blood pressure control? Participants Blood pressure calculated by taking the average of three consecutive days measurement.

1. Survey Type: Cross-sectional study.
2. Target Population: Patients undergoing hemodialysis.
3. Sample Size: The target sample size are all hypertensive patients in Sohag university hospital dialysis unit
4. Survey Method: person to person interview in dialysis units will be used for data collection.
