Dialysis is the process of cleaning waste products from the blood when the kidneys fail. Without dialysis, all patients with kidney failure would die from the buildup of toxins in the bloodstream. Presently there are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

What are the details of a dialysis technician job?
Your will be responsible for the dialysis machine and the controls and dealing with the patients who require it. You will also have computer work and lab work.
Why urea passes through the dialysis tubing into the dialysis fluid?
Urea passes through the dialysis tubing into the dialysis fluid due to the process of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The dialysis tubing is semi-permeable, allowing small molecules like urea to cross while retaining larger molecules and cells. As urea accumulates in the blood and reaches a higher concentration than in the dialysis fluid, it diffuses out to achieve equilibrium. This process helps remove waste products from the blood in dialysis treatments.
What is the name for doctors who work with patients in dialysis?
nephrologist
How does the dialysis machine resemble with nephron?
The dialysis machine is time - consuming while the properly funtioning nephron can get work done quickly
Why can dialysis work on blood far away from the kidney?
Granuflo
What is the most common cause of jaundiced in dialysis patients?
more work
Where can someone find the dialysis center nearest to his home or work?
The place that someone can find the dialysis center nearest to his home or work is the local hospital, or emergency rooms they can use the yellow pages. They can go to the local cancer center.
Do cells have to work to make osmosis happen?
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)
How does dialysis affect a person's quality of life and what is an alternative other than dialysis?
Dialysis affects a persons quality of life as it makes it harder for them to excercise and work properly. One of the alternatives to dialysis are that the patitant can go on the organ waiting list in hope of eventually getting the new organ needed. :-) Hope this helped you with what you needed to know.
What is the treatment that provides ongoing dialysis to patients that are out and about?
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) - the process of dialysis is done while the patient goes about his/her normal daily activities.Outpatient dialysis.
Dialysis does dialysis make your eyesight worse?
no
What organ of the body does not work during dialysis?
During dialysis, the kidneys are the organs that do not function effectively. Dialysis is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood, compensating for the kidneys' inability to perform these functions due to conditions like chronic kidney disease. As a result, the dialysis machine takes over the role of filtering the blood.
