Abstract

Hemodialysis is one of the renal replacement therapies, besides peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation. Although hemodialysis can improve morbidity and mortality in renal patients, it has many complications that occur during the dialysis sessions and/or as long term use of hemodialysis. Hypotension, hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, disequilibrium syndrome, hypocalcaemia etc are common complications occur during dialysis. In long-term dialysis, there are complications as amyloidosis, bone disease, endocrine disturbances, infection, cardiovascular complications, vascular access and nutrition complication. Important long-term hemodialysis complications will be reviewed in this article.
