Dialysis

At body temperature (37 degrees) :)

It is the kidneys' job to remove poisons and other undesirable chemicals from the bloodstream. If they do not do their job, we rapidly sicken and die. A person can succumb from total kidney failure in just a few hours.

Dialysis is a treatment that filters the blood for people whose kidneys are not capable of providing that service. Some causes of kidney failure are injury due to blows in the lower back, infection, severe bodily damage, such as burns or liver failure that release great quantities of toxins into the bloodstream, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

If both kidneys are unable to function, the only recourse is dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Dialysis is sometimes used on a short-term basis to treat other conditions involving toxins in the blood, but kidney failure is the most common reason for use.

The tubing is permeable; itallows water to pass through the tube wall.

Generally during organ failure, namely the Kidneys.

Yes. I am a medical transportation driver. I personaly know people that are using chlorophyll and wheatgrass juice with great benefits

active transport system or cotransport system.

Urinalysis is a determination, by means of various chemical tests, of the composition of a urine sample, which is done to observe any medically significant anomalies (red blood cells, elevated sugar level, albumin, etc.). Dialysis is a treatment given by an artificial kidney machine, that filters the blood in the same way that kidneys do; this can be done for people whose kidneys have failed.

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.

removal of waste product from the plasma......not so sure tho

A dialysis catheter can clog because the electrolytes such as sodium and potassium that are in the solution can clump together and create a blockage in the catheter.

Peritoneal dialysis uses a membrane inside your body (peritoneal membrane) as a filter to clear wastes and extra fluid from your body and to return electrolyte levels to normal. Unlike in center hemodialysis, you do not need to travel to a dialysis center for your treatment. Instead, after being trained at a dialysis center, you will do your treatment at home on your own schedule. Peritoneal dialysis can often be done at night, while you are sleeping.

You will need to have a catheter placed in your belly (dialysis access) before you begin dialysis. Placement is usually done 10 to 14 days before dialysis starts. Some peritoneal dialysis catheters may be used immediately (acute-use catheters). But because of a high risk of complications, these catheters are not commonly used.

- Hopefully that answers your question! -

Yes!! kidney transplants would still be necessary as some patients bodies reject dialysis treatment and they resort to kidney transplant. Therefore even if dialysis machines are cheap, transplants are still required.

"Handbook of Peritoneal Dialysis".....available on Amazon.com is a good reference

The dialysis tubing is meant to represent the semi permeable membrane of a cell. Like the cell membrane, dialysis tubing has holes or pores that only allow certain things to pass through. A cell membrane similarly will only allow certain things to pass in and out.

Dialysis is only necessary in cases of kidney failure. In most cases, heart patients do not also have kidney failure, and if they do, they are in serious trouble. Therefore, no, in most cases dialysis is not necessary after heart surgery.

Not really because the heat makes them want to drink more water and it's not possible because they can't get rid of the excess water due to their malfunctioning kidneys, but the patients can stay in the shade, suck on an ice cube instead of drinking water, suck on a lemon or lime, or if they really have to drink they can just take it in sips rather than gulping.

Summer is one of the seasons we dialysis patients dread. It's because the intense heat that this season brings makes us want to drink more water to quench our thirst. This is not possible for us patients because we cannot get rid of the excess water we take due to our malfunctioning kidneys. If we weren't able to discipline our fluid intake, this might lead to fluid overload or edema. Water would accumulate on parts of your body that has a space in it, such as your ankles, your hands and extremities. But these are only minor cases of edema. Worse, it could develop on your lungs, which is called Pulmonary Edema, or to your heart, which might lead to Congestive Heart Failure if goes unchecked.

Urea, potassium, creatinine, and extra fluids are 4 components of urine that dialysis would also remove.

Probably patient will need to stay in the Hospital for 2 to 3 days after appendix surgery, provided there are no post operative complications

well i make 18 dollar an hour, but ive been doing this for ten years in milwaukee.

No. you dont. Also depends on how old you are...
