About Kidney Dialysis
  • Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the
    things which are performed by healthy kidneys.
    Dialysis is usually needed when the kidneys can
    no longer take care of their body's needs.
    Dialysis is a procedure that takes over a kidney
    functions if those organs stop doing their job.
  • Dialysis is a process to excrete waste products
    and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys
    stop working properly. Dialysis often involves
    diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.
  • Dialysis is used as a temporary measure in
    either acute kidney injury or in those who are
    waiting for kidney transplant and as a permanent
    measure in those for whom a transplant is not
    indicated or not possible.

Types of Dialysis
  • Hemodialysis
  • Hemodialysis is the most common type of
    dialysis and the one most people are aware of.
  • In hemodialysis, an artificial kidney
    (hemodialyzer) is used to remove waste and extra
    chemicals and fluid from your blood. The doctor
    needs to make an access (entrance) into your
    blood vessels to get your blood into
    the artificial kidney. This is done by minor
    surgery to your arm or leg.

Types of Dialysis
  • Your blood is cleaned inside your body. A special
    fluid is put into your abdomen to absorb waste
    from the blood that passes through small vessels
    in your abdominal cavity. The fluid is then
    drained away. Peritoneal dialysis is typically
    done at home.
  • Peritoneal dialysis uses the inside lining of
    your abdomen (the peritoneum) as the filter,
    rather than a machine. Like the kidneys, the
    peritoneum contains thousands of tiny blood
    vessels, making it a useful filtering device.
  • Before Peritoneal dialysis starts, an incision is
    made near your belly button and a thin tube
    called a catheter is inserted through the
    incision and into the space inside your abdomen
    (the peritoneal cavity). This is left in place
    permanently.

What are the benefits of dialysis?
  • Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, has
    advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the
    patient and their kidney doctor to decide which
    of these treatments is best by considering his
    life style, other medical conditions, support
    systems, and the limits of responsibility and
    participation in the treatment program he
    desires. The patient must recognize that because
    of their medical condition, they may not be a
    candidate for one or the other type of dialysis.
    Each patient must see the two different types of
    dialysis procedures from their own perspective.

How long has dialysis been available?
  • Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis have been
    done since the mid 1940's. As a regular
    treatment, dialysis was begun in 1960 and is now
    a standard treatment all around the
    world. Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
    (CAPD) began in 1976. Thousands of patients have
    been helped by these treatments.

How long can you live on dialysis?
  • You will need to have dialysis treatments for
    your whole life unless you are able to get a
    kidney transplant if your kidneys have failed.
    Life expectancy on dialysis can vary depending on
    your other medical conditions and how well you
    follow your treatment plan. The average life
    expected on dialysis is 5-10 years however, many
    patients have lived well on dialysis for 20 or
    even 30 years. Talk to your healthcare team
    about how to take care of yourself and stay
    healthy on dialysis.

Side effects of dialysis
  • Hemodialysis can cause itchy skin and muscle
    cramps. Peritoneal dialysis can put you at risk
    of developing peritonitis(infection of the thin
    membrane that surrounds your abdomen).
  • Both types of dialysis can make you feel
    exhausted.
