The correct answer to this question is option B – Weight loss A client with chronic renal failure (CRF) is receiving a hemodialysis treatment is likely to experience weight loss. Hemodialysis is done to remove waste products from the blood in case of kidney failure. The removal of excess fluid from the body can result in weight loss. Option A is incorrect because, in the case of hemodialysis, urine is not produced.

Therefore, it is not possible to have blood in the urine (hematuria). Option C is incorrect. Hemodialysis does not improve kidney function. Urine output will remain low because of kidney failure. Therefore, urine output is not increased. Option D is incorrect. Hemodialysis reduces blood pressure rather than increase blood pressure because blood volume is decreased.

Hemodialysis is a procedure that is more commonly known as dialysis. Whenever a person has kidney problems, they may undergo dialysis. Hemodialysis is the procedure that in a sense cleans the person’s blood in regard to their kidneys. Some people may be on dialysis for the rest of their lives in order to survive.

However, others may only be on dialysis until they get a kidney transplant, but transplants take a long time. After going through a procedure of hemodialysis, a kidney patient may experience weight loss which is expected. There are many different side effects after any type of medical procedure.

Usually, a person who has to undergo kidney dialysis may be experiencing chronic renal failure. There are also complications that these people may experience.

Weight loss.-rationale: because crf causes loss of renal function, the client with this disorder retains fluid. hemodialysis removes this fluid, causing weight loss. hematuria is unlikely to follow hemodialysis because the client with crf usually forms little or no urine. hemodialysis doesnt increase urine output because it doesnt correct the loss of kidney function, which severely decreases urine production in this disorder. by removing fluids, hemodialysis decreases rather than increases the blood pressure.
