Did You Know?
About Potential Complications Associated With Haemodialysis
Catheters
Haemodialysis is a treatment used when kidneys fail (Stage 5 Kidney
Disease) and can no longer clean blood and remove extra fluid from
your body. A haemodialysis access or vascular access is a way to
reach your blood for haemodialysis.
Haemodialysis Catheters are implanted and used in haemodialysis
(treatment to filter waste and water from the blood), apheresis (a
technology that separates donated blood components to treat certain
illnesses), and infusion (a method of putting fluids into the
bloodstream) for up to 21 days.
A
2018 estimate put the number of patients on chronic dialysis in
India at about 175,000, giving a prevalence of 129 per million
population.
Dialysis catheters are used either as temporary solutions or as a
bridging device while patients wait for fistula or graft maturation
or kidney transplantation, or as the sole chronic access method.
Complications associated with dialysis access, and especially with
dialysis catheters, are on the rise as patients diagnosed with end
stage renal disease (ESRD) are increasing both in age and in
co-morbidities.
Complications of Haemodialysis Catheters include infection,
thrombosis, cardiac arrthymia, entrapped guide wire and malposition.
Recently, based on complaints of
injuries, US FDA ordered recall for a Dual Lumen High Flow Catheters
manufactured by a leading medical device company due to a potential
catheter hub defect that may cause leaks across the catheter’s
tubes. During treatment, this leak could result in mixing of the
arterial and venous blood, lead to increased recirculation and poor
dialysis, or cause the development of blood clots in the blood
vessels.
The use of the defective catheter may cause serious adverse
health outcomes, including bleeding or the need for surgical removal
and replacement of the affected catheter.
