Abstract

Hemodialysis (HD) is life-sustaining therapy utilized in the management of both acute kidney injury and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Advances in dialysis technology in the last 5 decades have vastly improved the safety and efficacy of HD. However, acute and technical problems may occur during initiation of dialysis and during chronic HD treatments. Conventional HD imperfectly replaces renal function and may be associated with chronic long-term consequences. This chapter reviews acute and chronic complications associated with HD.
