What are the effects of dialysis on the body

Dialysis is a treatment method. Generally, patients with kidney disease will use this treatment method. During the treatment, the impact on the patient's body is particularly serious. Dialysis is also a high-cost treatment method. The main thing is that patients need long-term treatment after they are sick. Many patients will experience many side effects, and the impact is particularly serious. Let us take a look at the effects of dialysis on the body.

① Hypotension: It is more common in patients with tachycardia, excessive dehydration, rapid dialysis or some patients are intolerant to acetate dialysis. Corrective methods: slow down blood flow, reduce negative pressure, reduce dehydration, and supplement fluids appropriately. Those who are intolerant to acetate can switch to carbonate dialysis or hemofiltration.

② Cramps: mostly occur in the calves and feet, and may occur during dialysis, between dialysis sessions, or at night. They are caused by excessive and rapid ultrafiltration and hyponatremia. Such patients should pay attention to correcting their weight, and keep their weight between dialysis sessions as low as possible. Those with hyponatremia should supplement sodium in time.

③ Nausea and vomiting: Common causes include long dialysis intervals, poor diet control, hyponatremia or hypernatremia, cerebral circulation disorders caused by hypotension or hypertension, etc. Except for dialysis reasons that require dialysis to be discontinued, nausea and vomiting due to other reasons can be treated with drugs.

④ Fever: Common causes include pyrogen reaction and allergic reaction, such as pyrogens and residual disinfectants in the dialyzer and pipelines. Treatment: Antihistamines can be given and antibiotics can be injected if necessary. The dialyzer and tubing must be properly flushed before use and strictly disinfected after use.

Through the above introduction, we know the effects of dialysis on the body. This is also a situation that cannot be avoided. No matter what treatment method is used, there will be side effects. During treatment, patients must adjust their mood. In addition, daily diet and living habits are also particularly important.
