Dialysis | Why is dialysis used | types of dialysis


What is Dialysis?

The kidneys filter your blood by filtering waste and extra fluid from the body. This waste is sent to the bladder and eliminated when urinate.
Dialysis performs the function of kidneys when they failed. End-stage kidney failure occurs when kidneys perform only 10 to 15 present of their regular function.
Dialysis is a treatment in which blood is filtered and purified by using a machine. This helps keep your fluids in balance.



Why is dialysis used?

Properly functioning kidneys filter extra water, waste, and impurities from the body. They help to control blood pressure and balance levels of chemical elements in the blood. These elements include potassium  sodium and phosphors
When your kidneys can’t perform their function due to disease, dialysis helps to regulate body functions to be as normal as possible. Without dialysis salt and waste products will gather in blood, this can damage other organs. However, dialysis does not cure kidney disease.

What are the different types of dialysis?

Haemodialysis
This the most common type of dialysis. This process uses an artificial kidney to filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The blood is removed from the body and filtered by the artificial kidney. The filtered blood again returned to the body with the help of a dialysis machine.

Peritoneal dialysis
This process involves surgery to implant peritoneal dialysis catheter into your abdomen. The catheter helps in the filtration of blood through the peritoneum, which is a membrane in the abdomen. During treatment, a fluid called dialysate flows into the peritoneum. The dialysate absorbs waste. Once the dialysate takes waste out of the blood, it’s drained from your abdomen.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
This therapy is used when the patient is suffering from acute kidney failure. It’s also known as hemofiltration. A machine passes the blood through the tube, a filter removes waste and water and the blood is returned to the body, along with replacement fluid. This procedure is performed 12 to 24 hours.
