Y61.2: During kidney dialysis or other perfusion
During kidney dialysis or other perfusion refers to adverse events that can occur during the medical process of dialysis. Dialysis is a type of treatment used when the kidneys aren't working properly. Sometimes, there may be adverse events during this procedure such as infection, allergic reaction, air embolism or even dialysis-related amyloidosis, which is a long-term complication of dialysis. These complications could affect the individual's overall health and physical functioning. The occurrence of these complications can depend on various factors, including the type of dialysis, the cleanliness and sterility of the dialysis site, the patient's overall condition, and the quality of health care received. It is important to maintain strict hygiene conditions during dialysis and the medical team is trained to handle any complications effectively.
