Common Knowledge of Dialysis
2011-02-06 14:43
The patients with Kidney Diseases are very familiar with Dialysis. Dialysis is to use a machine to replace the kidney to work. In the long run, the kidney will lose its function of expelling toxins out of the body. As a result, the patient has to rely on it. In this way, the kidney will be damaged continuously.
In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a dialyzer, exposing it to a partially permeable membrane. The dialyzer is composed of thousands of tiny synthetic hollow fibers. The fiber wall acts as the semipermeable membrane. Blood flows through the fibers, dialysis solution flows around the outside the fibers, and water and wastes move between these two solutions. The cleansed blood is then returned via the circuit back to the body. Ultrafiltration occurs by increasing the hydrostatic pressure across the dialyzer membrane. This usually is done by applying a negative pressure to the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. This pressure gradient causes water and dissolved solutes to move from blood to dialysate, and allows the removal of several litres of excess fluid during a typical 3 to 5 hour treatment.
Besides, the patients who are receiving dialysis should take some protein properly under the guidance of the doctor. The patient should better control high blood pressure and alleviate anemia. And it’s important for the patient to avoid all kinds of medicine that may cause damage to the kidney and prevent various infections.
