The primary goal of chronic HD vascular access is to provide repeated access to the circulation with minimal complications.
Access Complications
Complications of hemodialysis (HD) access create significant problems for renal practitioners, the healthcare system and especially for individuals living with end stage renal disease.
Kinetic Principles
Review Kt/V and factors that affect Kt/V in hemodialysis.
Sodium Modeling
Many modern dialysis machines offer options for ultrafiltration (UFP) and sodium profiling (or sodium variation system [SVS]).
Intradialytic Complications
Intradialytic complications of HD can be categorized according to their severity.
