Why is it important to investigate back pain in dialysis patients?

Hemodialysis is a procedure that removes waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood of individuals whose kidneys have failed. During this process, blood is circulated outside the body through artificial filters, which increases the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream. If a dialysis patient complains of back pain, it is crucial to investigate further using an MRI to rule out a spinal infection known as spondylodiscitis. Early detection is vital to prevent complications and ensure proper treatment.
