Muscle Cramps During Hemodialysis

چکیده
Muscle cramps are the most prevalent intradialytic complication and an important difficulty for patients. The frequency of muscle cramps is about 35-86% during haemodialysis. Excessive ultrafiltration, intradialytic hypotension, electrolyte-mineral disturbances , hypoosmolality are the most frequent causes. Muscle cramps can be treated by isotonic-hypertonic saline or hypertonic dextrose solutions. Also, preventing hypotension, profiling sodium, vitamin E and C can be used to prevent. There are new advances to treat and prevent this inconvenience, and we aimed to rewiev the causes and approachs for treatment and preventing muscle cramps during hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT Background and Aim : Muscle cramp is one of the common complications of hemodialysis. Muscular contractions, called cramps, typically occurs in the lower extremities. The three most important predisposing factors are (a) hypotension, (b) low dry weight, and (c) use of low sodium dialysis solution. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of isotonic and isometric exercises o...
متن کاملIntradialytic Massage for Leg Cramps Among Hemodialysis Patients: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND Patients on hemodialysis often experience muscle cramps that result in discomfort, shortened treatment times, and inadequate dialysis dose. Cramps have been associated with adversely affecting sleep and health-related quality of life, depression and anxiety. There is limited evidence available about massage in dialysis; however, massage in cancer patients has demonstrated decreases i...
متن کاملThe effect of acupressure on muscle cramps in patients undergoing hemodialysis
BACKGROUND Pain resulting from muscle cramps is one of the most common outcomes of hemodialysis. One of the mechanisms associated with muscle cramps is unnatural muscle metabolism. Because acupressure improves muscle metabolism through the releasing of energy, this study was performed with the purpose of determining the impact of acupressure on muscle cramps. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study ...
متن کاملCreatine monohydrate treatment alleviates muscle cramps associated with haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Muscle cramp is a common complication of haemodialysis. The exact mechanism of this complication is still unknown. Many approaches have been used to relieve the muscle cramping but have had variable effects. One of the possible mechanisms of haemodialysis-associated muscle cramps (HAMC) is the disturbance of muscle energy metabolism. Creatine monohydrate can enhance muscle metabolism...
متن کاملExercise-associated Muscle Cramps in Runners: A Review
Objective: Exercise-associated Muscle Cramp (EAMC) is an intense, painful, and involuntary contraction of skeletal muscles during a physical activity. Runners are more prone to this syndrome than other athletes. The present paper aims to review of the literature on EAMC in runners to determine the reasons and nature of EAMC in this sports field. Methods: A search was conducted for related stud...
