what are the cause of low blood pressure in a CAPD dialysis patient .
i know about hyponatremia and dehydration but what are the other causes?
i have to stop all my hypertensive medication because of low blood pressure.

i am hypertensive since 1998 .

I tend to have low BP when my dry weight is a bit low!
I don't think your BP is to bad at the moment, but you'll have to keep an eye on it.  I'm sitting at 90/60 at the moment, but I've been as low as 60/30.
