Blood Flow Rate Of Hemodialysis Patients; A Hospital Based Study

Abstract

Background: In chronic renal disease, impaired kidney function hinders waste elimination.Hemodialysis is fundamental for removing creatinine, urea, and excess water. The study explores blood flow rates in hemodialysis patients with chronic renal disease, shedding light on dialytic dynamics in this context.
Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients were selected irrespective of age and gender. All hemodialysis patients were recruited in Institute of Kidney Diseases, Hayatabad,Peshawar. Blood flow rate and demographic information were entered into a performa.
Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to enter and analyze data.
Results: Out of total, 58.3% and 41.7% were found male and female respectively. Highest number of patients observed in age greater than 55 years. The study revealed varying blood flow rates, with 43.9% at 300 ml/min, highlighting the distribution among hemodialysis patients. Three hours hemodialysis were found frequently among dialysis patients.
Conclusion: Despite improvements in dialysis care, challenges such as recirculation, co-morbidities, and nutritional issues persist, emphasizing the need for innovative therapeutic approaches and ongoing research to enhance patient outcomes. The study's findings provide valuable insights into optimizing hemodialysis effectiveness.
