Description

Overview of the medicine

g-haemodialysis-b-dialysis-solution is an electrolyte and buffer solution used in hemodialysis to correct electrolyte imbalances, remove metabolic waste products, and maintain fluid balance in patients with renal failure.

Uses & Indications

Acute and chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis

Electrolyte and fluid imbalances in hemodialysis patients

Removal of uremic toxins and excess fluid

Dosage

Adults

Flow rate and composition adjusted by physician based on patient's specific needs, blood chemistry, and dialysis machine parameters.

Elderly

Similar to adult dosage, adjusted based on individual patient's physiological status and comorbidities.

Renal_impairment

This solution is specifically for patients with renal impairment requiring hemodialysis. Dosage refers to dialysis parameters.

How to Take

Administered extracorporeally as part of the hemodialysis procedure by trained medical professionals.

Mechanism of Action

The solution facilitates the exchange of solutes (waste products, electrolytes) and fluid between the patient's blood and the dialysate across a semipermeable membrane, driven by diffusion and ultrafiltration principles.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Action begins immediately upon initiation of hemodialysis.

Excretion

The solution itself does not undergo excretion from the body but acts as a medium for exchange during dialysis.

Half life

Not applicable.

Absorption

As an extracorporeal solution, it is not absorbed or metabolized by the body in the traditional pharmacokinetic sense.

Metabolism

Not applicable.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to any component of the solution (rare)
Situations where hemodialysis itself is contraindicated (e.g., severe hypotension unresponsive to vasopressors)

Drug Interactions

General

While not interacting directly with ingested drugs, the dialysis process itself and the solution's composition can influence serum drug levels. Physicians must adjust drug dosages for renally cleared medications.

Storage

Store at room temperature (20-25°C), protect from freezing, and direct sunlight. Do not use if solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains particulate matter. Store in original packaging.

Overdose

An 'overdose' in this context would refer to incorrect dialysate composition or excessive ultrafiltration, leading to electrolyte imbalances (e.g., hypo/hyperkalemia) or hemodynamic instability. Management involves immediate adjustment of dialysis parameters and supportive care.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Hemodialysis during pregnancy and lactation is a complex medical decision. The use of specific dialysis solutions is determined by the treating physician based on maternal and fetal health needs, often involving careful monitoring.

Doctor Notes

Always verify dialysate composition and flow rates precisely according to prescription and patient's current blood work.
Monitor patient's electrolyte balance, acid-base status, fluid balance, and vital signs frequently during and after dialysis.
Ensure proper sterility and connection procedures for the dialysis circuit to prevent serious infections and other complications.

Patient Guidelines

Adhere to scheduled dialysis sessions strictly
Report any unusual symptoms or discomfort during or after dialysis immediately to healthcare providers
Follow dietary and fluid restrictions as advised by your doctor to prevent complications

Missed Dose Advice

Not applicable as it is part of a continuous medical procedure. Missed dialysis sessions should be discussed immediately with the treating physician.

Driving Precautions

Patients undergoing hemodialysis may experience fatigue, hypotension, or dizziness immediately after a session. It is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel stable and alert.

Lifestyle Advice

Maintain a kidney-friendly diet (low in sodium, potassium, and phosphorus) as prescribed
Manage fluid intake carefully to avoid fluid overload between sessions
Engage in regular, moderate exercise as tolerated and approved by your doctor
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
