Research Article: The Implementation of a Modified Fluid Assessment Tool to Improve the Clinical Assessment, Detection, and Management of Blood Pressure Control and Fluid Alterations Among Hemodialysis Patients
Abstract:
When chronic kidney disease causes progressive loss of kidney function and reaches an advanced stage, it results in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or kidney failure. In this stage, dialysis or a kidney transplant is very important to stay alive and meet the body’s functional needs. Nowadays, the hemodialysis (HD) population has been rapidly growing. Although data on the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease and related risk factors in the United Arab Emirates are scarce, Alalawi et al study in Dubai found that the number of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) on dialysis is increasing worldwide including United Arab Emirates (UAE), this makes it a significant clinical and public health concern, accounting for . million deaths worldwide. Several studies also highlighted the importance of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) as a risk factor for COVID- mortality, a finding that necessitates a call for action.–
