Overall morbidity was observed in 31.4% of end-stage kidney disease patients on hemodialysis, indicating a significant health concern.
Coronary artery disease and other risk factors were associated with adverse outcomes, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.
Assessment of potassium kinetics and ECG changes during hemodialysis could assist in preventing cardiac arrhythmias.
Sudden cardiac deaths remain a critical risk in patients, underscoring the need for vigilant patient care strategies.
