What is saline addition during dialysis?

Saline addition during dialysis refers to the practice of adding a sterile saline solution to the dialysis process to help maintain fluid balance and improve patient comfort. It can be used to replace lost fluid, manage blood pressure, and prevent complications related to fluid shifts during treatment. The saline helps ensure that patients receive adequate hydration while toxins are being removed from their blood. This practice can be particularly important in patients who are at risk of hypotension or fluid depletion.
