| [ Summary ] | The basis of stroke rehabilitation for dialysis patients is the same as that of other patients. However, attention should be given to noteworthy points of dialysis patients, such as blood pressure management before and after dialysis, fatigue, adjustment of training time, and shunt protection. There are few hospitals that can deliver both stroke rehabilitation and dialysis management, therefore, it can be difficult to adjust to the hospital transfer. When a dialysis patient is discharged, it is necessary to consider visiting a dialysis clinic routinely. | |
