Hemodialysis is one of the types of dialysis. There are two primary types of dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and a third investigational type, intestinal dialysis. In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a dialyzer, exposing it to a semipermeable membrane. 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. In short, Hemodialysis (he-mo-di-AL-i-sis) is a procedure to remove excess water and harmful chemicals and wastes from your blood. Hemodialysis helps clean up the blood when the kidneys cannot function properly, such as in chronic kidney failure. For more details, I would suggest you contact the medical expers from some renowned medical center like Ocean Medical Center.

chronic renal failure
The USRDS reports that mortality rates for individuals on dialysis are also significantly higher than both kidney transplant patients and the general population, and expected remaining lifetimes of chronic dialysis patients are only.
ICD 9 CM Code - 585.6- End stage renal disease. Chronic kidney disease requiring chronic dialysis.
Chronic kidney disease is often treated with dialysis. It is manageable but not reversible.
