Abstract
People with chronic renal disease won’t be able to filter their blood there for they’ll
need to undergo a procedure called hemodialysis.
In hemodialysis, a dialysis machine, a special filter called an artificial kidney, or a
dialyzer, are used to clean your blood. As much as it helps the human body to filter
out all the chemicals and unwanted substance, the patients undergoing this procedure
may face other complications discussed in this report
Description
Healthy kidneys clean your blood and remove extra fluid in the form of urine. They
also make substances that keep your body healthy. Dialysis replaces some of these
functions when your kidneys no longer work. There are two different types of
dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. But here we’ll talk about hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis is an artificial kidney used to remove waste and extra chemicals and
fluid from your blood. To get your blood into the artificial kidney, the doctor needs to
make an access into your blood vessels. This is done by minor surgery to your arm or
leg. Hemodialysis has many side effects either effecting the urinary system or other
systems
