title: Long-term effects of hemodialysis in diabetic patients with end stage renal disease.
abstract: The long-term effects of hemodialysis in diabetic patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) may seem minor, yet with further examination are seen to touch every aspect of the patients' lives. The long-term effects range from vascular access issues, complications such as limb amputation, to feelings of loss of control as well as hopelessness and powerlessness. This article will highlight how the long-term outcomes and effects of hemodialysis with diabetes cause multisystem problems and multiple complications in patients.
