This statement is incorrect. Hypernatremia (high sodium levels) is not the primary indication for initiating dialysis in this case. Metabolic acidosis and the inability of the kidneys to excrete acids are the primary concerns.
This statement is incorrect. Hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels) may occur in CKD, but it is not the primary indication described in the scenario. Metabolic acidosis is the primary concern leading to the need for dialysis.
This statement is incorrect. Hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) can be a complication of CKD, but it is not the primary indication for initiating dialysis in this scenario. Metabolic acidosis and its associated symptoms take precedence.
Severe metabolic acidosis, which results from the kidneys' inability to adequately excrete acids and regulate pH balance, is a critical indication for initiating dialysis in clients with CKD.
