Question

what is a dialyser?
​

Answer 1

A dialyzer is often referred to as an “artificial kidney.” Its function is to remove the excess wastes and fluid from the blood, when the patient's kidneys can no longer perform that task. Dialyzers are made of a thin, fibrous material.

Answer 2

• Dialysis is a treatment that removes excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in persons whose kidneys are unable to do so naturally.
• Renal replacement treatment is what it's called.
• In 1943, the first dialysis procedure was successfully completed.
• When there is a sudden loss of kidney function, known as acute kidney injury (formerly known as acute renal failure), or when chronic kidney disease reaches stage 5, dialysis may be required.
• When the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 10–15 percent of normal, the creatinine clearance is less than 10 mL per minute, and uremia is present, the patient is diagnosed as stage 5 chronic renal failure.
• Dialysis is used as a temporary therapy in patients with acute renal damage or those who are waiting for a kidney transplant, as well as a permanent measure in individuals for whom a transplant is neither suggested or practicable.
