Dialyzer Reactions

‘Dialyzer Reactions’ are commonly encountered across the haemodialysis community. The exposure of a patient’s blood to the dialysis membrane has been recognised as the origin for several decades, termed bioimcompatibility. Despite advances in technology, clinicians continue to see these ‘pseudo-anaphylactic’ reactions in modern-day practice. There is, however, variation in identification and management of these patients. Please help us understand the prevalence, diagnosis and management of patients experiencing ‘dialyser reactions’ to define best practice by completing this short survey.
