Hepatitis type B [1] [2] is transmitted by blood or blood products. The hemodialysis and routine transfusions
needed for a client in end-stage renal failure constitute a high risk for exposure. Peritonitis is a danger for
individuals receiving peritoneal dialysis. Renal calculi are not a complication of hemodialysis; they often occur
in clients who are confined to prolonged bed rest. Dialysis does not involve the bladder and will not contribute
to the development of a bladder infection.
