| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Dialysis is a replacement of renal functioning in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Approximately 10% of chronic regular hemodialysis patients have arterial oxygen saturation less than 90% for more than one-third of their dialysis session, which was associated with increased rates of hospitalization and also mortality. Aim of the work: This current study is aimed to assess of effect of intradialytic hypoxemia as a complication may occurs during hemodialysis session and its impact on clinical and laboratory parameters of patients with ESRD undergoing regular hemodialysis. Patients and methods: the current work is a hospital based Cross sectional study. A total number of 60 Egyptian patients with chronic kidney disease patients on regular hemodialysis, they were selected from patients attending the dialysis unit at New Cairo Hospital during the period from September 2021 to December 2021. They were divided into two groups, group I non-hypoxic group (n=20) and group II hypoxic group (n=40). Results: Oxygen saturation at the end of hemodialysis (89.9 ±5.1) was significantly correlated to development of intradialytic hypotension with (p value 0.048). Conclusion: Hypoxia is a predictive factor for development of intradialytic complications. | ||||
