Kidney failure.

– The state of kidney function is reduced by various causes, making the body unable to expel the body's waste in the urine normally. As a result, it causes residual waste in the body.

Kidney failure can be divided into two types:

– Renal Failure : Occurs acutely if the cause that caused the renal failure has been corrected by the kidneys. Usually returns to normal work in 2-4 weeks, so if the patient needs treatment with hemodialysis by artificial kidney It is often a temporary treatment. until the kidneys recover

Hemodialysis

– By taking 4 – 5 hours per time, 2 – 3 times a week, although there are tools to help replace the kidneys, but they cannot perform all the functions of the kidneys. Because normal kidneys work all the time, not stopping, but hemodialysis patients only 8-10 hours per week.

How is hemodialysis done?

– Start by inserting a needle into a special blood vessel that requires preoperative surgery. Most people prefer to use blood vessels in the arm after the needle has been successfully inserted and then connected to the blood supply line to bring the blood to the filter.

– When blood passes through the filter, the patient's blood exchanges substances with a special liquid called a dialysis fluid.

– After the blood has been cleaned and the minerals have been balanced, the machine will return good blood to the patient with reduced concentration of waste.

– In general, the hemodialysis process takes 4 hours per time, 2-3 times a week, because hemodialysis machines must be used for every hemodialysis so must be done at the hospital. or dialysis center, with nurses and expert staff closely supervising

– After the dialysis, the nurse uses a sterilized gauze to press the bleeding area until the needle stops.

– Some patients may press themselves. They should not press too hard when the wound is closed after the bleeding stops.

– Patients should be able to touch and hold for 30 minutes to stop the bleeding completely, without touching the water, and remove the plastic before 24 hours.

– Because infections can occur, patients should have the phone number of the artificial kidney.
