The paper discussed during spring 2007 was a case study report entitled “Haemolysis: A Hidden Danger” published in The Nephrology Nursing Journal. The authors, Elisabeth Harman and Paula Dutka, agreed to follow the discussion and respond to points raised. Sixteen contributors from ten different countries provided insights into the potential causes, symptoms and effects of both acute and hidden haemolysis during dialysis, as well as discussing some of the safety systems that can be used to try and minimise occurrences. The use of blood volume monitoring as a potential method of ‘seeing’ hidden haemolysis was explored as well as some reporting mechanisms and organisational safeguards that are used to manage the risks.
