prevent measures advice in hemodialysisto causes infection
Answers
Answer:
Infections (including those affecting the bloodstream) are the second leading cause of death among hemodialysis patients.
Infections acquired in dialysis units can kill, disable, hospitalize, and/or prolong illness in patients while disrupting lives and increasing the cost of treatment.
Dialysis-related infections can occur in many body locations including the bloodstream, bones, lungs, and skin.
There are many reasons why patients receiving dialysis have a high risk of infections, including the close distance of patients to each other, the fast patient turn-over between dialysis sessions, and poor health of the person receiving dialysis.
The immune system of patients with chronic kidney disease often does not work well, which impairs their ability to fight infection.
Some of the medicines may also affect the immune system, which can increase the risk of getting an infection.
Frequent admissions to a hospital may also expose patients to infections such as central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
