| [ Summary ] |
The risk of infection continues for hemodialysis patients. The prevalence of infection in hemodialysis patients is much higher than in the general population. Infection control for hemodialysis patients is extremely important. On-going education concerning safety procedures and the introduction of manuals concerning infection may further reduce the risk of infection. |
