How to dialysis uremia

summary

For uremic patients, the most commonly used treatment is dialysis, but dialysis methods are also divided into several kinds, how should patients choose the most suitable method? In order to let everyone have a detailed understanding, the following is to introduce how to dialysis uremic patients.

How to dialysis uremia

Patients can be treated by hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is to introduce the patient's blood into the dialyzer through the vascular access, exchange the material between the dialysate and the dialysate in the dialyzer, and then transport the purified blood back to the body, so as to achieve the purpose of discharging waste, correcting electrolyte and acid-base balance disorder. If patients can adhere to long-term reasonable and effective dialysis, many patients can live 10-20 years or more.

Patients can also be treated with peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is a special liquid called "peritoneal dialysis fluid", which is poured into the abdominal cavity through a "peritoneal dialysis tube". At this time, one side of the peritoneum is the blood containing metabolic waste and excess water, and the other side is the dry and static peritoneal dialysis fluid. The metabolic waste and excess water in the blood will run to the peritoneal dialysis fluid through the peritoneum. After 3-4 hours of retention (8-10 hours at night), release the waste peritoneal dialysis fluid from the abdominal cavity, and then enter the new peritoneal dialysis fluid. In this way, it can be changed 3-4 times a day, so as to continuously discharge the toxins and excess water in the body.

Experts pointed out that there are two dialysis methods for uremia, one is hemodialysis, the other is peritoneal dialysis. Both dialysis methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis can only replace the kidney's function of clearing metabolic waste, maintaining the balance of water, electrolyte and acid and alkali, but can not replace another important function of the kidney, namely endocrine function, Therefore, according to the doctor's advice, patients need to cooperate with their own specific circumstances to choose their own dialysis method.

matters needing attention

Uremia is not an independent disease, but a common clinical syndrome of various advanced renal diseases. It is a syndrome composed of a series of clinical manifestations when chronic renal failure enters the terminal stage. Patients with uremia must have timely treatment, control the disease, try to protect the quality of life of patients.
