Why Do CKD Patients Get Very Cold During the dialysis

Some CKD patients choose the dialysis to sustain their lives. But every coin has two faces, the dialysis is the same. On one side, it can clean the toxic blood for the CKD patients, on the other side, it can bring some serious symptoms to the CKD patients. Most of the CKD patients fell cold during the dialysis. I guess, you must want to know the reasons about it.

There are many reasons why chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis may find they feel cold at their dialysis centers. Issues such as season change, lack of warm attire, sitting under an air conditioning vent or even your physical or medical condition may be why you find dialysis centers on the colder side. Here are some things that might be causing this and ways you can get more comfortable when you go in for your dialysis treatments.

Sometimes the cold temperature inside a dialysis center can be a stark contrast to the warm weather outside. Patients who go to their dialysis center during the summertime may arrive wearing their light summer clothing, forgetting to bundle up for their treatment. Although the weather outside is warm, remember that the air conditioned dialysis center may be cold and bring proper attire to keep warm.
The dialysis process sends your blood through the dialyzer, filters out waste and toxins and then sends the clean blood back into your body. When the blood is outside of the patient’s body, it becomes cool. But when it flows through the dialyzer alongside the dialysate solution, it warms up again. Temperature of the dialysate solution, as well as your body temperature, is taken into consideration during the treatment. The dialysis machine is programmed to monitor the dialysate to be sure it is in the correct temperature range to ensure that it is not too hot. Alarms are set to go off if the dialysate temperature goes too high or low during the treatment. Slight differences in temperature may occur during treatment depending on your temperature and dialysate temperature. Some patients feel colder because of this difference. Normal body temperature is between 95 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 35 to 37 degrees Celcius.
