Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to filter and clean the blood of people whose kidneys are not functioning properly. It is primarily used to treat chronic kidney disease.
A hemodialysis session usually lasts about 3 to 4 hours. However, the duration may vary depending on each patient's needs and condition.
The frequency of hemodialysis sessions depends on the patient's health and the doctor's recommendation. Generally, they are performed 3 to 4 times a week.
Some of the risks and complications associated with hemodialysis may include infections, changes in blood pressure, muscle cramps, nausea, and vomiting, among others. It is important to note that these risks are managed and monitored by a team of specialists.
Before a hemodialysis session, it is important to follow medical instructions, such as avoiding certain foods and medications. During the session, you must follow the protocol established by the medical staff, and after the session, it is recommended that you rest and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
