High Fever and Low Fever Problems for Dialysis Patients

High Fever and Low Fever Problems for Dialysis Patients There are many dialysis problems, and there is no doubt that they can affect the quality of life further. Some dialysis patients complain about their abnormal body temperature (high fever or low fever), do not worry, here we will talk about this problem.

Dialysis patients are easy to be infected. Decreased neutrophil function and poor lymphocytes function make the cellular immunity and humoral immunity function low, and patients are in a microinflammation state. What is more, some dialysis patients have infections themselves, which makes body temperature increases during dialysis treatment. At this time, patients show shiver and high fever.

High fever can also have something to do with related dialysis factors. Direct factor: disinfection to dialyzer and blood circuit is not thorough, they are polluted in the join operation; indirect factor: dialysate is polluted.

However, when ultrafiltration volume is too much, circular peripheral vascular shrinks or dialysate temperature is too low, low fever may happen.

During hemodialysis treatment, what are the measures for abnormal body temperature?

-Medical stuff should carry out the aseptic operation system strictly, block the route of infection. Strictly disinfect the machines to prevent pollution.

-If dialysis patients themselves have infections, they should take antibiotic under the doctor’s advice.

-To those dialysis patients with high fever, adopt physical cooling or drug cooling.

-To those dialysis patients with low fever, we can increase dialysate temperature to correct hypovolemia.

As a matter of fact, many patients choose to stop dialysis treatment due to those various dialysis problems. However, the only way to achieve this is to gradually recover their own kidney function. If you are interested in the successful cases that dialysis times are reduced and even stopped finally, we are glad to share them with you.
