What is haemodialysis????????
Answers
Answer:
The process of purifying blood by an artificial kidney is called haemodialysis.
Answer:
Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.
Hemodialysis can be an outpatient or inpatient therapy. Routine hemodialysis is conducted in a dialysis outpatient facility, either a purpose built room in a hospital or a dedicated, stand-alone clinic. Less frequently hemodialysis is done at home. Dialysis treatments in a clinic are initiated and managed by specialized staff made up of nurses and technicians; dialysis treatments at home can be self-initiated and managed or done jointly with the assistance of a trained helper who is usually a family member.
Disadvantages
Edit
Restricts independence, as people undergoing this procedure cannot travel around because of supplies' availability
Requires more supplies such as high water quality and electricity
Requires reliable technology like dialysis machines
The procedure is complicated and requires that care givers have more knowledge
Requires time to set up and clean dialysis machines, and expense with machines and associated staff
