Core Tip	Cooled dialysate (35 ℃-36 ℃) is recently employed to reduce the incidence of intradialytic hypotension in patients on chronic haemodialysis. The studies to date that have evaluated cooled dialysate are limited, however, data suggest that cooled dialysate improves hemodynamic tolerability of dialysis and exerts a protective effect over major organs. There is evidence to suggest that cold dialysis can reduce cardiovascular mortality and improve patients’ levels of post-dialysis fatigue further improving general health and quality of life.
