Dialysis is a medical treatment that performs the functions of the kidneys for individuals whose kidneys are not working properly.

The main purpose is to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are unable to do so on their own.

There are two main types of Dialysis :<\/strong>

Haemodialysis :\u00a0<\/strong>In this method, blood is removed from the body, filtered through a machine (dialyzer), and then returned to the body. It\u2019s a 3- to 5-hour process that usually takes place in a dialysis center, but it can also be done at home with the right equipment and training.

Peritoneal Dialysis :<\/strong>\u00a0This method uses the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum) as a natural filter. A special fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, and waste products and excess fluids are absorbed into the fluid and then drained out.

<\/p>

What happens during Hemodialysis?<\/h4>

During Hemodialysis, the dialysis machine :<\/strong>

\u00a0Removes blood from a needle in your arm.

\u00a0Flows blood through the dialyzer filter, transferring waste materials into a dialysis solution. Salt, water, and more ingredients are present in this cleaning solution.

\u00a0Returns blood that has been filtered to your body via an alternative needle in your arm.

\u00a0Keeps track of your blood pressure to modify the rate at which blood enters and leaves your body.

<\/p>

What happens after Hemodialysis?<\/h4>

Low blood pressure can happen to certain persons during or just after hemodialysis. You may feel\u00a0nauseous,\u00a0dizzy\u00a0or\u00a0faint.

Other side effects of hemodialysis include :<\/strong>
\u00a0Chest pain\u00a0or\u00a0back pain, Headaches, Itchy skin, Muscle cramps, Restless legs syndrome.

<\/p>

Potential risks of Hemodialysis:<\/h4>

Problems with the AV fistula or graft arise for some individuals. An infection, inadequate blood flow, a blockage caused by scar tissue, or a blood clot might occur.

In rare instances, a tube or the dialysis needle may emerge from the machine while you are receiving treatment. A blood leak detecting device notifies the medical professionals or you about this issue. The machine will turn off for a while until the issue is resolved. This system protects you from blood loss.

<\/p>

What is Peritoneal Dialysis?<\/h4>

With the use of a dialysis solution, microscopic blood vessels located inside the peritoneum, the lining that lines the abdomen, filter blood during peritoneal dialysis. This mixture of water, salt, and other ingredients is a kind of cleansing liquid. Peritoneal dialysis takes place at home.

This therapy can be administered in two ways:<\/strong>
\u00a0Automated peritoneal dialysis uses a machine called a cycler.
\u00a0Manual labor is required for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, or CAPD.

<\/p>

What happens during peritoneal dialysis?<\/h4>

During peritoneal dialysis, you:<\/strong>

\u00a0Attach one branch of a Y-shaped tube to the catheter. This tube is attached to a dialysis solution – filled bag. The peritoneal cavity receives the solution as it passes through the catheter and tube.

\u00a0When the bag is empty, approximately ten minutes later, disconnect the tube and catheter.

\u00a0Cap off the catheter.

\u00a0While the dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity collects waste and excess fluid from the body, carry on with your regular activities. This might take an hour or ninety minutes.

\u00a0Using the other branch of the Y-shaped tube, remove the catheter’s cap and dump the fluid into a fresh, clean bag.

\u00a0Take up to four repeats of these instructions each day. Your stomach is filled with the solution while you sleep.

Some people prefer to do peritoneal dialysis at night. With automated peritoneal dialysis, a machine called a cycler pumps the fluid in and out of the body while you sleep.

<\/p>

What happens after peritoneal dialysis?<\/h4>

Your stomach’s fluids might make you feel full or bloated. It might feel uncomfortable, but the treatment isn\u2019t painful. When full of fluid, your stomach may protrude more than usual.

<\/p>

Potential risks of Peritoneal Dialysis:<\/h4>

Some people develop skin infections around the catheter. Additionally, you run the danger of developing peritonitis, an illness brought on by germs entering your abdomen through your catheter. Fever, nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort are possible side effects.

Over time, the abdominal muscles may weaken as a result of using the abdominal catheter and pumping fluid into your abdomen. A hernia could develop in you. When an organ, such as the small intestine, protrudes through the abdominal muscles, it can cause this illness. There can be a bulge in the area between your upper thigh and abdomen, or close to your belly button. A hernia can be surgically repaired by your doctor.

The sugar dextrose is absorbed by your body from the dialysis fluid during peritoneal dialysis. With time, weight gain may result from this excess sugar.<\/p>
