Summary
Hemoperfusion effectively removes uremic toxins in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, reducing long-term complications. This consensus provides guidelines for its safe and standardized application in MHD treatment.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Toxicology
Background:
- Accumulation of protein-bound and medium-large molecule uremic toxins contributes to complications in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
- Hemoperfusion offers a method to clear these toxins and mitigate associated adverse outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a consensus on the clinical application of hemoperfusion in MHD patients.
- To provide standardized guidelines for hemoperfusion therapy in this population.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of Chinese and international studies.
- Incorporation of clinical diagnosis and treatment experience.
- Development of consensus points by the Shanghai Medical Association Society of Nephrology.
Main Results:
- Consensus covers patient selection, treatment frequency, methods, and adverse event management.
- Guidelines aim for rational and standardized hemoperfusion treatment in MHD.
Conclusions:
- Hemoperfusion is a viable option for managing uremic toxin accumulation in MHD.
- Standardized application based on consensus can optimize patient outcomes and safety.

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...

DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

168
The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this...

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...
