Mohsin Raza: Why Is Anticoagulation Used During Hemodialysis?

Mohsin Raza, Dialysis Incharge at Ayesha Amir Memorial Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Why Is Anticoagulation Used During Hemodialysis?

During hemodialysis, blood passes through an extracorporeal circuit.

Because blood comes into contact with the dialysis circuit, there is a risk of clot formation.

That’s why anticoagulation may be used according to the patient’s prescription and clinical condition.

As dialysis professionals, we should understand:

  • Why anticoagulation is needed
  • The prescribed dose and protocol
  • Signs of clotting in the circuit
  • Signs of bleeding
  • When to report concerns to the clinical team

Patient safety always comes first.

What is one thing every dialysis technician should know about anticoagulation?”
