Acute Complications of Hemodialysis and their Prevention and Treatment

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

Hemodialysis is the most successful and most commonly used form of organ replacement therapy. Its success and widespread worldwide use attest to its safety. The latter is based on a combination of factors primordial among which is the vigilance and attention to detail of healthcare workers providing the therapy. Advances in dialysis technology (both machinery and disposables) contribute significantly to the safety of this therapeutic modality. Awareness of the potential complications of the procedure should facilitate preventive and remedial interventions. The present chapter offers a discussion of the most common complications and their therapies
