Important Warnings
- Do not use if you have very low potassium in your blood (hypokalemia) or if your blood is too alkaline (metabolic alkalosis).
- Hemofiltration should not be done if you have poor blood circulation around the cannula (the tube inserted into your vein).
- Do not use if you have a high risk of bleeding because you are taking medicines that prevent blood clotting (anticoagulation).
- Your blood pressure, fluid, salt, and acid levels, kidney function, blood sugar, and phosphate levels will be carefully monitored before and during treatment.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines you are taking, as their levels in your blood might change during hemofiltration.
