Question

describe the process of dialysis briefly

Answer 1

In medicine, dialysis is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. This is referred to as renal replacement therapy.

Dialysis is used as a temporary measure in either acute kidney injury or in those awaiting kidney transplant and as a permanent measure in those for whom a transplant is not indicated or not possible.

Answer 2

This process is achieved with a hemodialysis machine of special ultramodern technology carrying out the complicated procedure of filtering the human blood in a safe and effective way.


it provide many features
Features include a pump to deliver blood to the dialyzer at a constant rate (300-500ml/min), monitors to ensure that the pressures in the extracorporeal circuit are not excessive, detectors for blood leakage or air, a pump to deliver the dialysate fluid for the exchange of waste products etc.

The dialysis procedure removes solutes by diffusion - based on concentration gradients- between blood and dialysate fluid across a semi permeable membrane. Modern dialyzers are biocompatible, in order to avoid anaphylactic reactions of the patient. This is what makes the process absolutely safe.


In order to create this concentration gradient a dialysate fluid is delivered by special pumps to the dialyzers. This fluid typically includes electrolytes, like Na, K, Ca, HCO3, GLUCOSE, Cl, Mg, etc.
As the blood is cleared via this concentration gradient with the dialysate, the waste products are removed through separate tubes of the dialysis machine and the filtered blood returns back to the human body.
