It is the removal of solvents containing solutes across a semipermeable membrane within the filter/dialyser during haemodialysis that is achieved through the programmed pressure (Transmembrane Pressure or TMP)which is artifically exerted by a combination of two forces 1) the positive hydrostatic pressure (or pump speed) and the negative dialysate pressure brought about by a pump within the circuit. The net movement and removal of fluid/solvents is Ultrafiltration.

Dialysis FOR CRF?

What technology is employed for survival under renal failure?
Dialysis
What is a Machine that controls renal blood flow?
I think dialysis
Is it possible to slowly grow less dependent of Dialysis?
Dialysis is primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function (renal replacement therapy) (Renal referring to Kidney).Sometimes, this is resolved by giving the kidneys a break with a few dialysis sessions.If after the sessions, it is found that renal function has improved then less treatment will be required. If improvement continues there is a possibility that Dialysis will not be a permanent thing.
What can causes cramps and flu-like symptoms during dialysis treatment?
can be caused by a number of factors, including the type of dialysate used, composition of the dialyzer membrane, water quality in the dialysis unit, and the ultrafiltration rate of the treatment
What is protein filtration?
A sample of blood, serum, or plasma from which all proteins have been removed by chemical or physical denaturation, dialysis, ultrafiltration, or solvent extraction.
The patient underwent dialysis for CRF What does this abbreviation represent?
chronic renal failure
What is dialasis?
Dialysis is the artificial process of getting rid of waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultrafiltration) from the blood. This process is naturally done by our kidneys. Some people, however, may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly - they may need dialysis. In other words, dialysis is the artificial replacement for lost kidney function (renal replacement therapy). Dialysis may be used for people who have become ill and have acute kidney failure (temporary loss of kidney function), or for fairly stable patients who have permanently lost kidney function. Hope this helps xx
When is kidney dialysis prescribed?
When you are diagnosed with renal failure. In other words, when your kidneys cannot function, whether it's temporary or permanently, you will be put on dialysis.
Chronic kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant is termed?
Hemodialysis
What happens if there is damage to the renal medulla and renal cortex?
You develop kidney failure and will have to use a dialysis machine to clean the impurities out of your blood. This is common in the latter stages of diabetes.
Do countrys limit the age of dialysis patients?
in teh UK, they make them go to china and buy kidneys, otherwise if you have renal disease and on dialysis and turn 65, you go to morgue.
