A thrombus in a temporary catheter for hemodialysis can be thrombolyzed with urokinase, or the temporary catheter can be replaced in situ or re-catheterized.
A temporary catheter for hemodialysis is a vascular access that is used temporarily by uremic patients. If vascular occlusion occurs and there is no arteriovenous endovascular fistula or long-term catheter available, the need to solve the hemodialysis temporary access problem is commonly used to lyse the thrombus, replace the catheter, or reposition the catheter.
In clinical practice, thrombolysis with urokinase is commonly used to dissolve the thrombus blocking the catheter, so that the temporary catheter can be used again; if the effect of thrombolysis with urokinase is not good, you can try to replace the catheter in situ or replace it at a different site to ensure that hemodialysis is carried out normally.
If the thrombus occurs in the temporary catheter of hemodialysis, it is recommended to contact the hemodialysis center in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized disposal.
