Spinal Surgery in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis Therapy

Abstract

Spinal surgeries in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis can be performed with acceptable outcomes; however, the complication rates and mortality rates are relatively high and the fusion rate is low. To obtain a better outcome, multiple factors such as comorbid medical diseases, laboratory abnormalities, and osteoporosis should be carefully considered.
