Abstract
Abstract: Renal failure is a situation in which the kidney fails to function adequately. There are two forms of renal failure acute and chronic renal failure. End-Stage Renal Disease is the final stage of chronic renal failure were in there is a progressive, irreversible deterioration in renal function and the function is substituted by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), or renal transplantation. During haemodialysis (HD) patient’s blood comes in direct contact with the dialysis membrane which is a non-physiological environment which may elicit a series of changes in the metabolic haemostasis. The aim of this present study was to assess the changes in various vital sings parameters in pre and post haemodialysis (HD). Totally 50 subjects were participated in our study .Among them 30 were male subjects and 20 were female subjects. The age group of whole 50 patients was 40 ± 13. All the patients were in regular haemodialysis for the period of more than 15 months and the course of dialysis were 3 times a week. The vital signs parameters showed significant variations in pre and post dialysis session. 1. Body weight were Increased than ideal weight in Pre haemodialysis and in Post haemodialysis there was adecreased in body weight than Pre dialysis.2. Blood Pressure was increased than normal level in Pre haemodialysis and it was decreased in Post haemodialysis when compared to Pre haemodialysis.3.Heart rate was increased than normal level in Pre haemodialysis and it was decreased in Post haemodialysis when compared to Pre haemodialysis .4 Body Temperature was found to be in Normal level in Pre haemodialysis and in post dialysis there was no specific changes observed. From our study we concluded that haemodialysis has specific variations in vital signs. Regular dialysis constantly maintains the specifications of the vital signs parameters among the patients.
