DIALYSIS

Dialysis is a medical treatment that filters and purifies blood when the kidneys are unable to function properly, using methods such as peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. The process involves a semi-permeable membrane to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance while removing toxins. Key principles of dialysis include diffusion, osmosis, and ultrafiltration.

when your kidneys go on strike

INTRODUCTION
Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood
using a machine.
This helps keep your fluids and electrolytes in balance when
the kidneys can’t do thier job.
>So dialysis is the ultimate backup plan when your body’s
natural filter calls in sick.
DEFINITION
Dialysis is a technique in which
substances move from the blood from
semi permeable membrane and into a
dialysis solution.
PURPOSE
The purpose of dialysis is to maintain fluid electrolyte and acid
base balance and to remove endogenous and exogenous toxins.
A semi permeable membrane is a thin layer of material that
contains holes of various sizes, or pores.
This replicates the filtering process that takes place in the
kidneys.
METHODS OF
DIALYSIS
Methods of dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis
Hemodialysis
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
Peritoneal dialysis involves surgery to implant a peritoneal dialysis (PD)
catheter into your abdomen.
The catheter helps filter your blood through the peritoneum, a
membrane in your abdomen. During treatment a special fluid called
dialysate flows into the peritoneum. The dialysate absorbs waste.
Once the dialysate draws waste out of the bloodstream, it’s drained
from abdomen.
HEMODIALYSIS
Hemodialysis is the most common type of dialysis. This process
uses an artificial kidney (hemodialyzer) to remove waste and
extra fluid from the blood.
The blood is removed from the body and filtered through the
artificial kidney. The filtered blood is then returned to the
body with the help of a dialysis machine.
DIALYZER
The machine or filter
that acts like an
artificial kidney to
clean your blood.
DIALYSATE
The special fluid
that helps clean
your blood during
dilaysis.

When the kidneys fall silent, dialysis
speaks - gently cleansing the blood,
restoring balance, and giving life a
second rhythm.
