While dialysis is a life-saving treatment for individuals with kidney failure, it is not without risks and complications. Some of the potential risks and complications associated with dialysis include: 1. Infection: Dialysis access sites, such as catheters or fistulas, can become infected, leading to localized or systemic infections. 2. Low Blood Pressure: During dialysis, a drop in blood pressure can occur, causing dizziness, nausea, and even fainting. This is known as hypotension. 3. Muscle Cramps: Some patients experience muscle cramps, especially in the lower extremities, during or after dialysis sessions.
