Dialysis Treatment
Dialysis Treatment
Dialysis is a medical treatment used to perform the essential functions of the kidneys when they are no longer able to filter waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. It helps maintain a balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body, preventing complications from kidney failure. There are two main types: hemodialysis, where blood is filtered through a machine, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter waste.
Dialysis is typically needed for individuals with chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure. While it can significantly improve quality of life and extend life expectancy, it does not cure kidney disease. For some, a kidney transplant may be required if dialysis is not enough to manage the condition.
Key Facts About Dialysis :
Types of Dialysis:
Hemodialysis: Involves filtering the blood through an external machine (dialyzer) and returning clean blood to the body.
Peritoneal Dialysis: Uses the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter, where fluid is introduced to absorb waste and then drained.
Indications for Dialysis: Dialysis is needed for people with end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure), acute kidney failure, or severe kidney dysfunction when the kidneys are no longer able to filter blood adequately.
Frequency and Duration: Hemodialysis typically requires three sessions a week, each lasting about 3 to 5 hours. Peritoneal dialysis can be done daily or overnight, depending on the method used.
Access for Hemodialysis: Hemodialysis requires special access to the bloodstream, either through a fistula, graft, or catheter.
Dialysis Does Not Cure Kidney Disease: While dialysis can manage kidney failure, it does not cure the underlying kidney disease. A kidney transplant may be needed for long-term treatment.
Lifestyle Impact: Dialysis requires significant lifestyle adjustments, including a strict diet, fluid management, and regular treatments, which can impact daily life and activities.
Dialysis Treatment and Life Expectancy: Dialysis can improve symptoms and extend life expectancy for people with kidney failure, but it requires ongoing treatment to maintain health.
