A chart review-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on HD patients who had received HD for at least 6 months. Demographic, hemodynamic, and laboratory data were retrieved from the BestCare system, and the main outcomes were blood pressure before and after dialysis, and the presence of AF. Our sample consisted of 304 HD patients; 162 (53%) were male, and the mean age was 63 \u00b1 18 years. Sixty-eight (20%) had AF, of whom 44 (64.7%) were male, with a mean age of 73 \u00b1 12 years. The risk of AF increased by 0.4 [odds ratio: 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.06;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001] for every year of age. Almost the entire sample (66.45%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 202) was hypertensive, and those patients had a mean age of 64 \u00b1 17 years, and nearly one-third had a body mass index in the obese category (28.7%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 58). In addition, with every increase in the Charlson comorbidity index score by two points, there was a 40% increased risk of developing HTN (OR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.17\u20135.18;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.017). The risk factors for the development of HTN and AF in HD patients were found to be increasing age for AF and female sex for HTN. The presence of HTN and diabetes increased the risk of developing AF seven-fold after HD.\n
