Event Description

It was reported that a hemodialysis (hd) patient is constantly having issues (exact dates, occurrences not provided) with how much fluid the clinic staff does or does not remove during treatment.The patient does not like too much fluid removed as they do not feel well after with headaches.The staff has a hard time controlling the patient's blood pressure (bp) during treatment.The bp drops low so then they need to administer fluids to counter the bp issue.The hd nurse said it is a constant balancing act to keep the correct amount of fluid off without giving the patient symptoms and without leaving too much fluid on.The hd nurse stated the patient is non-compliant with diet and medication.The patient always comes to treatment with signs of edema in their legs and abdomen and with swollen eyelids.The patient does not have have any fluid in their lungs.The patient admits to drinking too much over the weekend and between treatments.The nurse practitioner prescribed the patient midodrine for the low bp which the patient is refusing to take until they see their primary care physician.
