  • Title: Intra-operative hemodialysis during liver transplantation: an expanded role of the nephrology nurse.
    Author: Henson A, Carpenter S.
    Journal: Nephrol Nurs J; 2010; 37(4):351-3, 356; quiz 354. PubMed ID: 20830942.
    Abstract:
    Hemodialysis is widely acknowledged as a treatment option to stabilize acute medical conditions where biochemistry management is paramount. One of the most challenging situations is during liver transplantation, when patients with moderate renal dysfunction are likely to become acutely acidotic. For nephrology nurses, this extended role requires increased knowledge, advanced skills, and a high level of communication with unfamiliar team members. With appropriate procedures and a supportive environment, delivering such a service is feasible.
