Negative impacts: Ø Nausea. Ø Vomiting. Ø Headaches. Ø Muscle cramps. Ø There can be a sudden drop of blood pressure (hypotension). Ø Anemia. Ø Irregular sleeping patterns. Ø Loss of hormones and nutrients that are specially produced in the kidneys. Ø Depression Ø The patient has to undergo initial training on the procedures to be used at home Ø Unfortunately renal failure patients usually have a weakened immune system, which makes them more susceptible to infection than is usual. Ø The patient has to remain attached to the machine for many hours at a time, and must remain seated. Positive impacts: Ø If the patient owns a haemodialysis machine, it can be carried out at home. Ø No scheduled hospital or clinic visits are required. Ø Longer living life Negative impacts: Ø Nausea. Ø Vomiting. Ø Headaches. Ø Muscle cramps.
