What is a typical temperature for a dialysis patient pre-treatment?

A typical pre-treatment temperature for a dialysis patient generally falls around 97 degrees Fahrenheit. This range helps healthcare professionals establish a baseline for the patient's normal body temperature, allowing for the detection of any potential febrile conditions that could indicate an infection or other complications prior to starting dialysis. A lower temperature may not be as indicative of a potential underlying issue as a higher reading, which may raise concern for further investigation. Monitoring temperature is an integral part of pre-treatment assessments, ensuring patient safety and optimal care.
