LOINC short name : Intermittent hemodialysis panel;
LOINC description : This panel includes terms to report results related to intermittent hemodialysis,
including parameters related to the pressures, volumes and rates of various components
in the dialysis circuit, information about the patient's dialysis access, and lab
results. Intermittent hemodialysis is prescribed for patients with chronic renal failure
and typically involves three- to six-hour dialysis sessions three times a week. During
hemodialysis, a concentration gradient between the dialysate fluid and the patient's
blood causes solutes in the blood, which would normally be filtered by healthy kidneys,
to diffuse across the dialysis membrane into the dialysate. [PMID: 18360553];
