When blood come in contact with the plastic tubing in the dialysis circuit it triggers an immune response and part of that response is the clumping of platelets. Some people have a stronger response than others. If it is bad enough to clot the entire circuit it may require the use of heparin while on dialysis.
Yes, poor cannulation by a doctor can lead to low transmembrane pressure (TMP) on a dialysis machine. If the vascular access is not optimal, it may result in inadequate blood flow or poor filtration, causing changes in TMP readings. Additionally, complications such as clotting or kinking of the access can further compromise the efficiency of dialysis, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. Proper technique in cannulation is crucial for effective dialysis.
It is located at where the patient's blood is drawn in.
The dialysis machine is time - consuming while the properly funtioning nephron can get work done quickly
The most common is a kidney dialysis machine.
A dialysis machine removes wastes from the body that the kidney usually does. But not as well as the kidney. About 85% of people on dialysis die in three years without a new kidney.
