What are the possible side effects after hemodialysis?
Disease description:
Grandpa has kidney failure and currently needs to undergo hemodialysis. Could you please tell me what side effects may occur after hemodialysis?

Possible side effects after hemodialysis mainly include:
1. Removal of nutrients: Hemodialysis may remove some essential nutrients from the body, such as B vitamins and glucose, while eliminating toxins.
2. Beta-2 microglobulin amyloidosis: Long-term dialysis may lead to accumulation of beta-2 microglobulin, resulting in amyloidosis.
3. Anticoagulant-related risks: Anticoagulants used during hemodialysis may cause certain harm to the body.
4. Acute complications: Such as hypotension, dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, muscle cramps, fever, etc.
5. Long-term complications: Including malnutrition, renal osteodystrophy, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance.
Patients should follow the doctor's instructions and undergo hemodialysis when necessary.
