i have a pt that has dialysis three times a week. He has been currently having diarrhea for the past week or so, the nurse in charge said she has spoken to the dialysis unit and the medications that his given at dialysis are what gives him diarrhea, but when i spoke to the unit they said none of there medications would do that, they also said if he has diarrhea not to send him to dialysis because it increases the chance of infection. We cant get a clear answer. Thanks!
Hidialysis patients have decreased immunitydiarrhoea in dialysis patient can be due to1.normal compensation of the body to decrease waste products2.long term use of antibiotcs2.or common gastroenteritis so you need to go for stool study ANF then we can differentiate the cause take care
