Discussion :
Haemodialysis. Haemodialysis is indicated in patients with chronic renal failure, acute renal failure or poisoning, end stage renal disease and rarely inborn errors of metabolism, cardiac failure. Haemodialysis is a method of dialysis where vascular access is used along with an artificial semipermeable membrane pack in a dialyser and controlled by a dialysis machine, so that transfer of solutes and fluid from blood to the dialysate fluid takes place in a controlled manner, by extracorporeal perfusion. Chronic maintenance haemodialysis (CMHD) is given 3 times a week. Each session of dialysis is for 3-4 hours. |
