How it works pulmonary congestion causes dialysis?
A lot of kidney dialysis patients are vulnerable to suffer from heart failure, which can cause excessive fluid retention in the lungs. Then, lung congestion occurs with shortness of breath, anoxia, cyanosis or hemoptysis. Very often, the left ventricular failure may hamper the pulmonary vein returned, resulting in pulmonary congestion in the lungs become enlarged kermesinus.
Pulmonary congestion identifying dialysis patients
As pulmonary congestion is commonly due to heart failure and cardiovascular disorder is a main reason of death in dialysis patients, it is important to early identification of pulmonary congestion. As introduced by nephrologists, timely identification of pulmonary congestion may help slow the progression of heart failure, cardiovascular problems and death for patients on dialysis.
How to manage pulmonary congestion in patients on kidney dialysis?
Reduce the load on the heart: Having more rest, controlling sodium intake, and use of diuretics or correct vasodilator substance. All this can help reduce the risk of heart failure and cardiac events.
Strengthen the force of myocardial contraction: In the clinic, several medications can help achieve this goal, such as sildenafil, digoxin and digital leaf.
-Give Oxygen to people who have difficulty breathing
-Complications Timely control of pulmonary congestion: Respiratory infections, electrolyte disorder and thrombus formation are common complications. If patients have these problems, steps should be taken to manage immediately.
-Improve Renal function: If patients still have the opportunity to improve renal function, it is better for them to do and avoid dialysis, if fortunately enough.
