With the advances in hemodialysis technology, the complications of hemodialysis are becoming less and less, but some patients still feel some discomfort during or after hemodialysis.
The major symptoms include weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting and muscle spasm. These symptoms are mainly caused by the changes of the ingredients in theextracellular fluid during hemodialysis. Fine management of diet and weight can contribute to lessen these symptoms.
Some kidney patients may come across symptoms like high blood pressure, low blood pressure, chest pain, arrhythmia because they already have had high blood pressure, malnutrition, anemia, enlarged heart, hydropericardium.After a period of dialysis, the symptoms would be greatly relieved.
Patients with high blood pressure should use antihypertensive with the guidance of the doctors. In daily lives, they should control their weight and their diet should be light.
Few patients have had transient chill and fever, which should be taken care of by medical staff. While most of the patients would not experience any discomfort during dialysis.
Hypotension is common during dialysis, especially during senior citizens with low weight. This may be caused by fast dehydration, or long-term malnutrition, poor cardiac function, functional disorder of vegetative nervous system. For patients who experience hypotension frequently, they should avoid or lessen the weight gain during dialysis and eat little food.
