There is a lot of key information to understand about the dehydration of uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis. Here are 6 truths about dehydration during hemodialysis for uremic patients! 1. Purpose of dehydration Remove excess water Maintain the stability of the body's internal environment and alleviate edema symptoms. For example, patients cannot excrete excess water normally due to renal failure, resulting in edema in the lower limbs or even the whole body. Dehydration through dialysis can alleviate this situation. 2. Dehydration is not the more the better Avoid low blood pressure Excessive dehydration can cause a sudden decrease in blood volume, leading to low blood pressure, dizziness, palpitations and other discomforts, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, the amount of dehydration should be accurately set based on the patient's dry weight and other indicators. 3. Influence of dehydration speed Affects the cardiovascular system Dehydration too quickly can put a strain on the heart and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia. Just like quickly deflating a balloon, the heart needs to quickly adapt to the change in blood volume, which can easily cause problems. The Importance of Individual Differences Different patients need personalized solutions Each patient has different physical conditions, residual renal function, etc., and the dehydration plan should also be different. For example, the tolerance of elderly patients and young patients is different, and the dehydration settings need to be treated differently. 5. The Key Role of Dry Body Weight Accurate assessment is the basis Dry body weight is an important basis for determining the amount of dehydration. Doctors need to accurately judge dry body weight through a comprehensive assessment of the patient's physical condition and physical signs to ensure the rationality of dehydration. 6. The last two are the most critical Adjust dehydration plan regularly The patient's physical condition will change over time, such as improved nutritional status, disease progression, etc., so the dehydration plan should be regularly evaluated and adjusted to adapt to the body's new needs. Self-monitoring and cooperation Patients should learn to monitor their weight, urine volume and other indicators, actively cooperate with medical staff during dialysis, and promptly feedback their physical feelings, so as to ensure the dehydration effect and their own safety. Knowing these facts can enable uremia patients to receive safer and more effective treatment during hemodialysis dehydration and improve their quality of life. |
