What is the process of dialysis?

Answer 1

Dialysis is a procedure by which waste products which would normally be removed by the kidneys are removed by diffusions across a semipermeable membrane. This procedure is done when the kidneys have failed, or when a dangerous toxin is present in the blood and needs to be removed quickly.

There are two kinds of dialysis for renal failure: hemodialysis, where the blood is filtered through a machine; and peritoneal dialysis, where the abdominal peritoneal lining is used as the semipermeable membrane across which the toxins are filtered.

Each of these methods has benefits and drawbacks. You should talk to your physician if you or a loved one need or are contemplating dialysis.

Dialisys is a treatment people need to go through when they don't have working kidneys. The person is hooked up to a machine that filters all the toxins out of their blood. The blood goes through a filter that has tons of tiny little tubes representing the nephrons in the kidney, then the clean blood is pumped back into the person. This is done about three times a week, and takes 6 hours.
Dialysis is the method used in hospitals to 'scrub' the blood when someone has lost kidney function. The blood carries with it all kinds of poisons and contaminants that, if they should build up in the bloodstream, be fatal. The function of the kidneys is to filter all the contaminants out of the blood stream, and it does this constantly. Should a person lose a kidney, or go into renal failure (kidneys don't work), dialysis is recommended.

Here's how it works. The dialysis machine removes the blood from the body (all of it, over time), filters out the contaminants, and moves it back into the body. This takes a horrible toll on a person, and usually requires a lengthy recovery afterwards.

In medicine, dialysis (from Greek dialusis,"διάλυσις", meaning dissolution, dia, meaning through, and lysis, meaning loosening or splitting) is a process for removing waste and excess water from the blood, and is used primarily to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with renal failure.[1] Dialysis may be used for those with an acute disturbance in kidney function (acute kidney injury, previously acute renal failure), or progressive but chronically worsening kidney function-a state known as chronic kidney disease stage 5 (previously chronic renal failure or end-stage renal disease). The latter form may develop over months or years, but in contrast to acute kidney injury is not usually reversible, and dialysis is regarded as a "holding measure" until a renal transplant can be performed, or sometimes as the only supportive measure in those for whom a transplant would be inappropriate.[2]

The kidneys have important roles in maintaining health. When healthy, the kidneys maintain the body's internal equilibrium of water and minerals (sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfate). The acidic metabolism end-products that the body cannot get rid of via respiration are also excreted through the kidneys. The kidneys also function as a part of the endocrine system, producing erythropoietin and calcitriol. Erythropoietin is involved in the production of red blood cells and calcitriol plays a role in bone formation.[3] Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the endocrine functions of the kidney. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal).[4]

Answer 3

Process of removing blood from a patient with kidney failure, purifying it with a hemodialyzer (artificial kidney), and returning it to the bloodstream. Many substances (including urea and inorganic salts) in the blood pass through a porous membrane in the machine into a sterile solution; particles such as blood cells and proteins are too large to pass. This process controls the acid-base balance of the blood and its content of water and dissolved materials.

Basically, they hook you up to a machine for hours, and filter ALL your blood because a person's kidneys aren't able to.
Kidney dialysis helps the waste inside your blood(body) to come out

Answer 4

to prevent the kidney failure person by death or getting disease and to process excretion system/to release the mineral salts by urine

Answer 5

Two thin needles will be inserted into your AV fistula or graft and taped into place. One needle will slowly remove blood and transfer it to a machine called a dialyser or dialysis machine.

Answer 6

The official definition for the word dialysis is "the clinical purification of blood by dialysis, as a substitute for the normal function of the kidney."

Answer 7

kidneys non functional
