Anticoagulation-related complications and their outcomes in hemodialysis patients with acute kidney injury at selected hospitals in Ethiopia
Clotting affected 19.4% of participants, while bleeding occurred in 15.4%, underscoring the importance of close monitoring. The frequency of HD sessions and blood flow rate are correlated with clotting, while hospitalization duration, serum creatinine levels, uremic symptoms, and anticoagulant use are associated with bleeding events.
