What is hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a medical treatment in which blood is removed from the body and passes through the filter to remove the waste products before returning to the body. This treatment is commonly used to treat people who experience kidney failure because the kidneys usually perform this function. Depending on the patient and the situation, hemodialysis may be performed by an emergency or long -term foundation and in the case of some long -term patients it is possible to receive hemodialysis at home.

The hemodialysis process includes several steps. First, the needle is inserted into the patient. Then his blood flows into the dialyzer, a medical facility that is also known as artificial kidney. On the way to the dialyzer, thinner blood is added to the blood to ensure that it clot. The tubes are surrounded by a container filled with liquidwn as a dialysis. Dialysis is specially formulated only for the patient. When the blood passes through the artificial kidney tubes, metabolic waste products and other impurities stretch the artificial membrane through the dialysis. Waste fluid from the canaStr is either destroyed or cleaned and recycled, while cleaned blood is returned to the body of another needle.

In emergency hemodialysis, the goal is to get the patient stable as quickly as possible and needles are usually inserted into the most comfortable places. For long -term hemodialysis, surgeons can produce grafts of arteries and vein, which increases the volume of dialysis or can insert artificial grafts. The access point can also be connected to the site to make it easy to connect the patient up to the hemodialysis machine.

Patients may be prescribed several haemodialysis sessions per week on the Complezor for their failing kidneys, either as an approach to long -term treatment or as detained until a suitable kidney for transplantation is available. Hemodialysis can also be used to treat patients who experience kidney failure as a medical complication.

Hemodialysis has a number of side effects that should be discussed with a doctoror by a doctor. Because hemodialysis often involves removing waste water, because people with kidney failure are less urinated, this can sometimes cause temporary health effects that people should be prepared for, such as reduced blood pressure, fatigue and headaches.
