AB Patients  with  end-stage  renal  disease  (ESRD)  may  sustain  multiple  complications  of  their  disease  process  and  treatment.  Emergent  dialysis  is  most  commonly  required  for  hyperkalemia,  severe  metabolic  acidosis,  and  pulmonary  edema  resistant  to  alternative  therapy.  (See  the  appropriate  chapters  for  discussion  of  the  management  of  hypertension,  heart  failure,  bleeding  disorders,  and  electrolyte  disorders.)
