Dialysis is for kidney failure. It takes over the job for many of the kidney functions, and cleans the blood from build up of waste when you can't remove the fluid yourself through urination. The kidneys direct the body to replace your red blood cells, and regulates the storage of Vitamin D. Protein is hard on kidneys that are failing, so a special diet is usually recommended. Once you are on dialysis, you will need more protein again.
Dialysis is typically done 3 times a week and for about 4 hours per session. You can go to a dialysis center, or if you are able to manage it, use a dialysis machine at home. There is a type of dialysis that uses your own body to circulate the fluids that draw out the waste, called Peritoneal Dialysis.

Is dialysis used to treat jaundice?
Dialysis is not used to treat jaundice itself; rather, jaundice is a symptom that indicates an underlying issue, often related to liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. Treatment for jaundice focuses on addressing the root cause, such as managing liver disease or relieving bile duct blockages. In severe cases of liver failure, dialysis may be used to support kidney function, but it does not directly alleviate jaundice.
What reasons would a doctor run a kiney spleen and liver dialysis at once?
Answer... The liver and spleen are part of the PORTAL system. It appears that you have some degree of liver failure [because you are undergoing liver/spleen dialysis]. The PORTAL system is a separate blood system for the digestive-related organs. You apparently are being treated for kidney failure as well. Did you get into some sort of toxic chemical? Another cause of liver failure is chronic alcohol abuse.

What effects on bilirubin level during dialysis?
During dialysis, bilirubin levels can fluctuate due to several factors, including the removal of waste products and changes in fluid balance. In patients with liver dysfunction or hemolysis, bilirubin levels may decrease as the dialysis process helps filter excess bilirubin from the bloodstream. However, in cases where liver function is severely impaired, bilirubin may not significantly decrease. Overall, the effect of dialysis on bilirubin levels can vary based on the underlying condition and the individual patient's response to treatment.
