Estimated dry weight (kg)	48.84 ± 16.83	48.78 ± 15.92	NS
Pre-HD weight (kg)	51.69 ± 18.74	52.11 ± 16.65	NS
Post-HD weight (kg)	49.25 ± 17.14	49.24 ± 15.62	NS
Casual pre-HD SBP index	0.99 ± 0.16	0.93 ± 0.12	0.08
Casual pre-HD DBP index	0.85 ± 0.24	0.79 ± 0.19	NS
Casual post-HD SBP index	0.93 ± 0.13	0.86 ± 0.11	0.04
Casual post-HD DBP index	0.76 ± 0.22	0.69 ± 0.15	0.08

↵^a DBP, diastolic BP; HD, hemodialysis; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; NIVM, noninvasive monitoring of hematocrit; SBP, systolic BP. BP index equals measured BP divided by the 95th percentile value.
↵^b P > 0.10 is reported as NS.
