Patients receiving hemodialysis are vulnerable to infectious diseases due to
their impaired immunity and high risk of exposure to pathogens. To protect
patients, staff, and visitors from potential infections, each hemodialysis unit
should establish and follow standard infection control and prevention measures.
Therefore, clinical practice guidelines were developed by a working group of
nephrologists and infection control specialists to provide evidence-based
guidance for dialysis physicians and nurses, with the aim of preventing infection
transmission and controlling infection sources in hemodialysis facilities. The
areas of infection control covered by these guidelines include standard
precautions, isolation strategies, vascular access, water treatment,
cleaning/disinfecting/sterilizing, and vaccination. This special report
summarizes the key recommendations from the Korean clinical practice guidelines
for preventing the transmission of infections in hemodialysis facilities.
