Abstract:
A 63-year-old maintenance hemodialysis patient with diabetic nephropathy was reported. The patient was incapacitated, with systemic edema, heart failure, severe anemia, malnutrition, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intractable hypertension. We adopted integrated management methods such as "multidisciplinary collaboration" and "doctor-patient collaboration": by accurately controlling the volume load to protect the residual renal function, taking into account the treatment of underlying diseases and complications, integrating the clinical parameters of dialysis and the interdialysis period, and combining the subjective clinical symptom score with the objective index analysis, the objectives of effectively controlling the dry weight of patients, alleviating complications, improving nutrition and protecting the residual renal function were finally achieved. The quality of life of the patient had been significantly improved.
