Hemodialysis I: Introduction

440
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Approximately 70,000 patients in Germany require hemodialysis due to renal insufficiency.
  • Diabetic nephropathy and nephrosclerosis are the primary causes for dialysis initiation.
  • Increasing patient age and multimorbidity complicate medical care for dialysis patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical role of vascular access in hemodialysis.
  • To highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing dialysis patients.
  • To guide the optimal selection and timing of vascular access creation.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and discussion of current practices in vascular access for hemodialysis.
  • It emphasizes the decision-making process involving patient comorbidities and dialysis urgency.
  • The role of the surgeon in conjunction with the nephrologist is discussed.

Main Results:

  • Vascular access is a prerequisite for hemodialysis and patient survival.
  • A well-functioning dialysis access significantly impacts patient survival and quality of life.
  • The choice of vascular access is individualized based on patient-specific factors.

Conclusions:

  • Interdisciplinary treatment is essential for the complex care of hemodialysis patients.
  • Optimal vascular access selection and timely creation are paramount for successful hemodialysis.
  • Surgeons and nephrologists must collaborate to ensure the best patient outcomes.
