thread_title: Step by step description of hemodialysis

message: I've edited out alot of the recent edits to this section, not because they were incorrect but because this section ought to be punchy and to the point. Nephron put some stuff related to clearance, which he clearly knows alot about, in there which clouded the point in my opinion. A section relating to dialysis adequacy after the prescription section would be good-as kt/v urr etc could all be linked to. I have to admit right now that even the thought of dialysis adequacy makes me actively suicidal..Felix-felix 11:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Principle of hemodialysis

message: *I vote no-in fact, I'd go further and say I think that the step-by-step guide should go altogether-it's not very encyclopedic. But having it in this article is unweildly and bloating.Felix-felix 08:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merge

message: I've added a caveat to the sentence saying that hydrostatic pressure drives water and SOME dissolved solutes. I think that  the essential point to be bourne in mind is that this section should be as clear as possible to an interested lay reader-it's not a dialysis textbook for technicians and nephrologists. So whilst you are correct about the movement of Na with free water-I seriously think that this complicates the section,which should be as clear as possible. This could be dealt with later on in the text, should it be deemed necessary. However, rather than just delete, I think we should reach a consensus here first.Felix-felix 09:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ultrafiltration and Solutes

message: This article is getting better, mainly due to input from User:jtdaugir. The article as a whole reads quite badly, I think, the order of the sections is counterintuitive, perhaps principle first, then history, then prescription, then access ,then side effects and then equipment? Could we do with more references? How about more or better pictures (especially a better semi-permeable membrane one!)?
It would be nice to work towards GA or even FA, what do we think?FelixFelix talk 16:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article order

message: (Culleton et al, JAMA 2007) is likely to cause a stir. JFW | T@lk 07:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't really that much of a surprise -- if you read the home hemodialysis article which is referenced out the wazhoo.  There is a nocturnal hemodialysis article already-- it redirects to HHD. :-)  There is a good deal of observational data to suggest NHHD is better than CHD. The naysayers want a study... so it is happening. I ref'ed the pilot study (of the JAMA article) in the HHD article-- see ref 14. Nephron  T|C 22:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Obviously if you have a graft or fistula hemodialysis will require cannulation - there are good citations available cannulation camp from a renal network could be the basis for a section. BillpSea 04:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a bit off the beaten path for the hemodialysis article.  Perhaps it is time to split-out vascular access / link with Main article --see dialysis if you don't know what I mean by this-- and create a template to link together the vascular access related articles (Cimino fistula, dialysis catheter, vascular access steal syndrome...).  I think cannulation camp might fit into an article like that; the hemodialysis article, IMHO, ought not go to that level of detail. Nephron  T|C 07:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A cannulation section? 

message: There was just a nice outline of incenter self-care and its clinical advantages in Nephrology News & Issues as an insert from the non-profit Medical Education Institute Incontrol focus on self-care. And here is an article announcing a tenth self-care unit in CA so self-care is a current practice.BillpSea 04:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking again to what I wrote above-- a section probably is a bit much for the purpose of the hemodialysis article.  That said, I think the fact that self-canulation ought to be encouraged is worth mentioning--along with the advantages/reasons self-canulation is encouraged.

message: Somebody can tell about profiling on a hemodialysis?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.39.65.81 (talk) 20:47, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sodium profiling? A setting on the newer hemodialysis machines? I think what is needed is a discussion of the three fluid compartments in the body - the problem with hemodialysis is that it only cleans/treats the blood compartment leaving 6/7 of the fluid in the body untreated. Sodium modeling fits in here because it can allow higher rates of fluid withdrawal by increasing transport between the fluid spaces. It would be hard to discuss the specific features of a specific machine but I do think the concept of sodium modeling could find a place in a thorough explanation of the body's fluid structure - what dialysis is tryig to do vs. what the kidneys can manage.BillpSea (talk) 06:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: profiling on a hemodialysis

message: I have removed the line, "Access is the achilles tendon for hemodialysis patients, since failure & complications of acess contribute to a majority of deaths in patients on hemodialysis." I fail to see how this makes any sense." How exactly does one canulate a tendon?173.171.151.171 (talk) 15:10, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that you can die from the needle falling out is a big deal (this is what an Achilles heel is, a weakness). I work on home hemodialysis systems which have Access Disconnect shut down, warning systems as well as many other safety features.  When I read of folks bleeding out I thought this was all in the early years of hemodialysis. Should we, can we say that this is no longer a concern? Jeffhemm (talk) 19:44, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Can we say something about use as emergency treatment for severe/atypical cases of hyperthermia? The hyperthermia article alludes to this in passing, links to this page, and this page makes so mention whatsoever. If the hyperthermia page is wrong, someone better educated than I should go verify it, or at least change the referral to this page as though it contained a more complete explanation of hemodialysis treatment for hyperthermia.
