Who Needs Hemodialysis?
Hemodialysis is recommended for patients with:
🔹 End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
🔹 Severe kidney failure (GFR < 15 mL/min)
🔹 Uncontrolled symptoms of CKD, such as swelling, nausea, fatigue, and breathlessness
🔹 High levels of toxins or fluid overload that cannot be managed with medications
Types of Vascular Access for Hemodialysis
To perform hemodialysis effectively, a vascular access is required:
🔸 Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula – A surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, preferred for long-term dialysis.
🔸 Arteriovenous (AV) Graft – A synthetic tube connecting an artery and a vein, used if veins are not suitable for a fistula.
🔸 Central Venous Catheter (CVC) – A temporary access placed in the neck, chest, or groin for urgent dialysis.
Benefits of Hemodialysis
✔️ Removes toxins and excess fluid, preventing complications like heart disease and swelling
✔️ Regulates electrolytes (potassium, sodium, calcium) to prevent imbalances
✔️ Improves overall well-being by reducing CKD symptoms
✔️ Enhances energy levels and daily functioning
