Top Telling Of The Contradictions In Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis is one of the common dialysis types. It plays a significant role in alleviating symptoms of kidney failure and improving the patients’ life quality. Whereas, there are some contraindications for it. And the following contraindications should be taken into consideration.

1. Low blood pressure

If too much fluid is filtered out of the body, it will cause low blood flow, thus leading to blood pressure drop. Additionally, long time use of hypotensives or high-temperature dialysis fluid may affect the contraction function of blood vessels. These two reasons are common causes for blood pressure drop.

2. High blood pressure

If the blood volume declines, it may cause elevated renin secretion. Increased renin can increase the production of angiotensin which has the function of narrowing blood vessels. Thus, the blood pressure will go up. In addition, if the medications are removed by dialysis or the contraction function is affected by high-calcium dialysis fluid, the blood pressure will also rise.

3. Spasm

Spasm may occur with hypotension together or several hours later. Moreover, if too much fluid is discharged out of the body, you may have serious and continuous spasm, and it may last for several hours after dialysis.

4. Vomiting and nausea

This contraindication can be associated with low blood pressure, imbalance syndrome and hypercalcemia.

5. Headache

There is no exact reason for headache, but it may be related to high blood pressure, high fever, intracranial hemorrhage and imbalance syndrome.

6. Inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart

Insufficient hemodialysis can lead to inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart,which can disturb the heart’s ability to pump blood to the rest of your body.

The above are common contraindications of hemodialysis. As a dialysis patient, you may experience some of the related condition, although not every one experience all of the issues.
