Extracorporeal hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood in patients with kidney failure. During the process, blood is drawn from the body and passed through a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, where it is cleaned before being returned to the body. This treatment helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance and remove toxins that the kidneys can no longer filter effectively. Hemodialysis is typically performed in a clinical setting, though home hemodialysis options are also available.
What else can I help you with?
What can you tell me about hemodialysis?
In medicine, hemodialysis is a method that is used to achieve the extracorporeal removal of waste products such ascreatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of renal failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being renal transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.
What is the suffix of hemodialysis?
The suffix of hemodialysis is "-lysis."
When was Extracorporeal Life Support Organization created?
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization was created in 1989.
What is an ECC?
An extracorporeal circuit
What does Hemodialysis involve?
involves circulating the patient's blood outside of the body through an extracorporeal circuit (ECC), or dialysis circuit. The ECC is made up of plastic blood tubing, a filter known as a dialyzer (or artificial kidney), and a dialysis machine
When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis it can be said that?
When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, it can be said that
What is ESWL?
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
What are the difference between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis?
hemodialysis takes longer than peritoneal dialysis
What replaces kidney function by filtering waste products directly from the patients blood?
Hemodialysis
How is hemodialysis done?
The treatment involves circulating the patient's blood outside of the body through an extracorporeal circuit (ECC), or dialysis circuit. Two needles are inserted into the patient's vein, or access site, and are attached to the ECC.
Why is hemoperfusion defined as an extracorporeal form of treatment?
Hemoperfusion is sometimes described as an extracorporeal form of treatment because the blood is pumped through a device outside the patient's body.
What is extracorporeal removal of drug?
extracorporeal removal of drug is a system in which undesirable drug and metabolites from the body without disturbing the fluid and electrolytr balance in the patient. answred by saikat
