Many kidney disease patients suffer side effects from their outpatient medical care, according to a small new study.
Researchers looked at 267 people with chronic kidney disease and discovered that more than 69 percent had experienced at least one harmful event from outpatient medical treatment, and about 38 percent had suffered more than one such incident.
The most common complications were low blood sugar and high blood potassium, the investigators found. Low blood sugar in patients with diabetes, and falling or severe dizziness in patients without diabetes were most often associated with other complications of outpatient treatment.
