Dialysis patients can apply plasters, but try to avoid applying them at the arteriovenous fistula, the catheter for hemodialysis and the exit of the peritoneal dialysis tube.
Dialysis is one of the treatments for chronic kidney disease in renal failure, dialysis access needs to be established before dialysis, including arteriovenous fistula, temporary venous catheter, semi-permanent venous catheter, peritoneal dialysis tubing, these accesses are the lifeline of the dialysis patient, so they should be maintained and protected.
When plasters are applied to the skin, adverse reactions such as itching and burning sensation of the skin can occur, increasing the chance of skin infection in the above areas, so they should be avoided as much as possible.
For the use of medication in dialysis patients, it is recommended to consult the dialysis center and nephrologist for treatment under doctor’s guidance.
