Why is dialysis such an important treatment for kidney failure?

Answer 1

The kidney's clean your blood. They are responsible for removing urea from the blood (changing it to urine), adjusting ion levels in your blood and adjusting the water content of your blood. They need to do this because urea is poisonous and the levels of the other substances I mentioned need to be controlled... without them you die, and if they are not working properly you pee blood, neither of which are good things ;)

Answer 2

Dialysis helps people with renal failure, or kidney failure, to survive. The body must filter out its extra fluid and waste products in order to be healthy. If the kidneys are failing, this filtering cannot take place and the body becomes overwhelmed with both too much fluid and too many wastes, which may be dangerous in high amounts.

Dialysis filters the body for the kidneys either by removing blood little by little to be filtered directly (hemodialysis) or by putting fluid into the abdominal cavity and pulling out excess waste with it (peritoneal dialysis).

People with severe kidney failure cannot survive long without dialysis. Dialysis cannot cure kidney failure; it can only keep a person alive long enough for their kidneys to heal themselves (if it is acute kidney failure) or to receive a kidney transplant.

Answer 3

because kidney is very important organ and is involved in elimination of nitrogenous waste and other metabolic by products. If kidneys are damaged how the waste is removed from our body

Answer 4

dialysis replaces the filtering system of the kidneys in the presence of a disease that renders the kidneys non-functional.
