A client who had just undergone hemodialysis is ordered for a laboratory test. Which of the following parameters will show a significant improvement after dialysis?

Creatinine
Hemoglobin
Phosphorus
Calcium

Explanation

Answer: A - The best indicator of client’s response to dialysis is a decrease in creatinine level. Creatinine is used to measure how well the kidneys can filter fluids. On the other hand, dialysis will result in diminishing hemoglobin level (renal anemia), increased phosphorus and decreased calcium which are all part of disease process of CKD.
