Causes of muscle cramps during dialysis

Muscle cramps are a common complication of hemodialysis treatments, occurring in 33 to 86 percent of patients [1,2]; they often result in the early termination of a hemodialysis session and are therefore a significant cause of underdialysis.
Patients tend to experience cramps in the lower extremities, but they can occur in the hands, arms and abdominal muscles as well.
Although the exact cause is unknown, multiple causes have been proposed, including volume contraction (getting "too dry"), low blood sodium concentration, low body magnesium, and carnitine deficiency. Of these, the first two seem to be the most common. In terms of volume contraction, both getting below your "dry weight" (goal weight at the end of dialysis), as well as rapid removal of large volumes can result in cramps. Low concentrations of sodium in the dialysis bath can also cause cramps by lowering your blood sodium concentration.
