    Hemodialysis: By: Liana Lee Sención

    Hemodialysis is a treatment for patients with kidney failure to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood. It works by passing blood through a dialyzer, where it comes into contact with a dialysate solution on the other side of a semi-permeable membrane, allowing diffusion and ultrafiltration to remove toxins and water. Common causes of kidney failure requiring hemodialysis include diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, cystic disorders, and drug toxicity. The document describes the process of hemodialysis and how it uses diffusion and ultrafiltration across a hollow-fiber dialyzer to clean the blood.

    Hemodialysis

    by: Liana Lee Sencin


    What is hemodialysis?
    Hemodialysis is a treatment used for
    patients to rid blood of metabolic
    wastes, urine, harmful toxins and
    other extra fluids.
    Our Kidneys
    Excretory Functions
    Maintains plasma osmolarity by
    eliminating water
    Maintains plasma pH near 7.4 by
    eliminating excess hydrogen
    Excretes nitrogenous end products of
    protein metabolism
    Endocrine Functions
    Renin- affects sodium, fluid volume, and
    blood pressure
    Erythropoietin- which regulates red
    blood cell productions in bone marrow
    Prostaglandin- regulates blood flow in
    the kidneys

    Chronic Renal Failure
    A person with this
    disorder will not
    benefit from the
    normal functions
    of kidneys. There
    is complete renal
    failure.
    Diabetes
    Hypertension
    Glomerolunephritis
    Cystic Disorders
    Drug toxicity
    Damage to supporting
    structure of kidneys


    Causes:
    Hemodialysis
    Hollow -fiber
    Dialyzer
    Hollow-fiber Dialyzer
    Dialysate inflow tube
    Dialysate outflow tube
    Blood inflow tube
    Blood outflow tube
    10,000 hollow fibers
    (large surface area)
    Process of Dialysis
    Blood circulates outside the
    body and passed through
    the dialyzer
    Comes into contact with a
    counter flow of dialysate
    solution
    Toxins are removed from
    the blood through diffusion
    Excess water is removed
    from the blood with a
    certain amount of filtration
    Process of Dialysis
    Blood is injected with
    heparin, an anticoagulant.

    Blood is then returned
    back to the body through
    the artery.
    Diffusion in Dialysis
    Constant movement of dialysate
    solution and maintains a high
    concentration gradient
    Electrolytes are added to dialysate so
    that there will be a healthy amount in
    blood
    Ultrafiltration
    Dialysis machine causes hydraulic pressure
    There is higher pressure in blood
    compartment than in the dialysate
    compartment
    This forces water and any other molecules
    small enough to pass through the
    membrane to evacuate the blood.
