ABSTRACT
Kidneys are two bean?shaped organs that lie just below rib cage, on each side of spine. They remove waste and fluid from body, level out blood pressure, and keep bones strong. They also ensure that body have the right amount of minerals, like potassium and sodium (salt), in blood. Finally, they make the hormone that causes body to create red blood cells. It’s a treatment that takes over kidney functions if those organs stop doing their job. There are two types of dialysis: Hemodialysis: Blood is put through a filter outside body, cleaned, and then returned back to the body. This is done either at a dialysis facility or at home. Peritoneal dialysis: Blood is cleaned inside body. A special fluid is put into abdomen to absorb waste from the blood that passes through small vessels in abdominal cavity. The fluid is then drained away. This type of dialysis is typically done at home. If kidney disease becomes very severe and crosses a point where there’s not enough function to maintain the body, then the body needs either a transplant or dialysis. The patient typically start dialysis when the patient have symptoms or any lab tests show toxic levels of waste in the blood. Symptoms of kidney failure include nausea, fatigue, swelling, and throwing up. When anyone should start dialysis depends on age, energy level, overall health, lab test results and how willing the patient are to commit to a treatment plan. Although it can make the patient feels better and live longer, it involves a lot of time. Doctor will let you know when you should start treatment. They’ll also explain which type might work best for you.
