A member asked:

How can a patient with esrd be treated for low blood pressure without intravenous therapy in a prehospital setting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There are several reasons for low BP in esrd, including dehydration, carnitine deficiency, heart failure (with or without cardiogenic shock), adrenal insufficiency, and autonomic instability. Some of those can be treated with oral therapies such as midodrine, mineralococorticoids, and carnitine for example.
