Why dialysis machine is considered as artificial kidney?
Some machines cleans
The blood like your failed or missing kidney would, and other machines have a tube coming out of the stomach and the tube is hooked to the paritinam (did not spell that right) and the sugars in the body draw out your body's waste, and some of the people who do dialysis this way have a choice of doing their " exchanges " at home, at night, or at a dialysis unit. My mom does the at home exchanges and she does them 4 times a day she is about to switch over to the night time one where while she sleeps the exchanges are happening about every 2-3 hours. vocabulary. the paritinam hold all your organs in place. Hope this information was helpful and not confusing srry it is long but there is a lot to tell

Which part of a kidney dialysis apparatus actually takes the place of the nephron?
tubing made of selectively permeable membrane
[object Object]
Why is dialysis tubing differently permeable?
To allow useful substance in and hold back the harmful ones in the blood, which helps in purification.
Do you have too have surgery before starting dialysis?
Usually before dialysis a doctor will perform an arteriogram/venigram. This is to map the location of veins and arteries in your arm. Then the doctor will bring a vein and artery together towards the surface, creating a fistula. The area usually cannot be used for about a month. In some cases, such as an emergency, tubes are inserted into veins and arteries in the chest. This type of portal can be used right away.
How much does a certified vet tech make an hour in MA?

How to apply Kidney transplantation during dialysis?
Dialysis is not usually required continuously unless there are certain aspects affecting the person. Eg: severe acidosis, hyperlactatemia.
Generally you would pause dialysis, perform the surgery and then resume after if applicable.
What is the formula for manually calculating the TMP in dialysis?
TMP = Dilaysate pressure - Venous Pressure
Why are people with kidney dialysis not advised to take too much fats?
Dialysis is not as good as having functioning kidneys. To stay healthy on dialysis it's important to eat stuff that's easy on the body to deal with, and fat isn't easy.
What is a cellophane dialysis membrane?
It is a type of tubing, that is semi permeable (i think) and it acts like a membrane since it only allows certain things inside and out. This is sometimes used for cleaning the blood for kidney failures. You may have used this for an osmosis lab or something. Hope this helps

Is hemodialysis the same as dialysis?
Hemodialysis is one of the types of dialysis. There are two primary types of dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and a third investigational type, intestinal dialysis.
In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a dialyzer, exposing it to a semipermeable membrane. The cleansed blood is then returned via the circuit back to the body. Ultrafiltration occurs by increasing the hydrostatic pressure across the dialyzer membrane. This usually is done by applying a negative pressure to the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. This pressure gradient causes water and dissolved solutes to move from blood to dialysate, and allows the removal of several litres of excess fluid during a typical 3 to 5 hour treatment. In short, Hemodialysis (he-mo-di-AL-i-sis) is a procedure to remove excess water and harmful chemicals and wastes from your blood. Hemodialysis helps clean up the blood when the kidneys cannot function properly, such as in chronic kidney failure.
For more details, I would suggest you contact the medical expers from some renowned medical center like Ocean Medical Center.

It is a specialized type type of dialysis catheter that is implanted into the patient's upper right arm, in place of an A/V fistula.
It is a machine that performs the task of your kidneys. Because you Kidneys don't work you can not get rid of the impurities and excess water in you blood. So by first off mixing up a solution similar to that of healthy blood and then pumping blood out of the body and one way through an external filter and the solution (mixed by the machine) the opposite way through the filter, it is then "osmosis" takes place and all the "bad stuff" gets sucked from the blood through a membrane (external filter) and washed to drain with the spent solution, and the "clean blood is returned to the body. This is basic dialysis, The machine has the task of maintaining quality of the Dialysate solution (temp, conductivity, flow rate etc..) as well as the blood (temp, blood flow speed etc..) also by using sensors pre external filter it takes a measurement and compares it to a measurement taken post filter before the blood is returned and will give you your "clearance" and indication of the efficiency of you treatment. The machine can also perform ultra filtration, this means sucking excess fluid off that would usually be passed in urine. This is my very very basic explanation of how it all works, hope it helps, cheers Simple - filter blood
Why does the fluid in dialysis have to flow in opposite directions?
It has to flow in opposite directions to keep a balanced concentration therefore a balanced diffusion. If it went in the same direction as the blood there would be less diffusion as, for instance, by the time the dialysis fluid from the right side got the the left, no more diffusion could take place with the blood above it as the fluid would already have gone though diffusion with blood further back down the right end so particles would not move from a high concentration to a low concentration as the fluid below would have a high concentration too from what it gained back at the right end.
molecular weight higher than the pore size of the tubing or dialysis bag material doesnt go.
Are LPN's allowed to perform peritoneal dialysis?
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) may perform peritoneal dialysis in some settings, but it often depends on state regulations and the policies of the healthcare facility. In many cases, LPNs can assist with certain aspects of the procedure under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. However, they typically do not perform the initial catheter placement or complex assessments associated with the procedure. It's essential for LPNs to be familiar with their state's scope of practice and their employer's guidelines.
Yes. Two doctors just recommended it for my 70-year-old husband who is on dialysis.
Low albumin levels in dialysis patients?
Low albumin level is a strong predictor of mortality and morbidity among dialysis patients.
