What is Dialysis ?

Dialysis is a medical procedure used to perform the vital functions of the kidneys when they are unable to do so effectively. It involves the removal of waste products, excess fluids, and electrolyte imbalances from the bloodstream to maintain the body's overall health and balance. Dialysis is a critical treatment for individuals with kidney failure or severe kidney-related conditions, as it helps them manage their health and overall well-being.

Types of Dialysis

Hemodialysis

During hemodialysis, a machine known as a dialyzer or artificial kidney is used to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood. This process helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance.

Hemodiafiltration

Hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a comprehensive renal replacement therapy used for individuals with kidney failure. It combines elements of hemodialysis and hemofiltration to provide an effective blood purification process. It offers advantages in terms of improved toxin removal, reduced cardiovascular stress, and enhanced fluid balance control.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)

This is a specialized medical procedure used to support individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI) or other severe kidney-related conditions. Unlike conventional hemodialysis, which is intermittent, CRRT provides continuous and more gentle removal of waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream. CRRT is especially beneficial for critically ill patients, as it provides a more gentle and controlled approach to renal replacement therapy.

Peritoneal dialysis

Unlike hemodialysis, which relies on a machine, peritoneal dialysis uses the body's own peritoneum (a membrane lining the abdominal cavity) as a natural filter. It offers some advantages, including the ability for patients to perform the procedure at home, more flexibility in treatment schedules, and a gentler filtration process.

Step-by-step Dialysis Procedure

Every patient must go through a comprehensive evaluation process before it is decided that they are fit for a transplant.

Preparing the Patient
1. Preparing the Patient
The procedure’s preparation begins after checking the patient's vital signs and recording their weight.
Accessing the Blood
2. Accessing the Blood
A vascular access point, such as a fistula, graft, or catheter, is used to access the patient's bloodstream. This allows blood to flow out of the body and into the dialysis machine.
Blood Filtration
3. Blood Filtration
Blood is pumped from the patient's body into the dialysis machine, where it passes through a special filter known as a dialyzer or artificial kidney.
Cleaning the Blood
4. Cleaning the Blood
Within the dialyzer, the blood is exposed to a special solution that helps remove waste products and excess fluids. This mimics the function of the kidneys, which filter the blood naturally.
Returning Clean Blood
5. Returning Clean Blood
After filtration, the purified blood is returned to the patient's body. This process may be repeated several times during a single dialysis session.
Monitoring Vital Signs
6. Monitoring Vital Signs
Throughout the procedure, the patient's vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, are closely monitored to ensure safety.
Post-Dialysis Evaluation
7. Post-Dialysis Evaluation
Once the dialysis session is complete, the patient's condition is assessed, and any necessary post-dialysis care is provided.
