Is Hemadialysis Safe For Hepatitis B?
Greetings. I have creatinine 5.4 not diabetic but have extreme anemia and have hepatitis B . Bp 140/80. I m getting ready for dialysis. Will I get any side effects after going on hemodialysis. Since I have hepatitis B? How big of a chance will I die during a dialysis section?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dialysis doesn't cause any harm to a hepatitis B patient. The matter of concern is that the machine has to be sterilized thoroughly as it can transmit hepB to other person using the same machine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
