Dialysis – procedure, which replaces the kidney function, if they do not fulfill their functions. The kidneys have many functions, that help the body stay healthy. They help to remove toxins from the blood and maintain the body's electrolyte balance level. Most patients begin dialysis kidney, when they lose 85% -90% its capabilities. Dialysis may be needed for a short time, or, perhaps, It needs to pass the rest of his life (or until a kidney transplant), depending on the cause of kidney failure.

If the kidneys can not be restored, this is called end-stage renal failure (WBC). ESRD is caused by certain diseases, such as diabetes, kidney cancer, drug use, high blood pressure, or other kidney problems. Dialysis is not a cure for ESRD, but it helps the patient feel better and live longer.

There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis E pyeritonyealinyi dialysis. This paper describes peritoneal dialysis.

Causes of Peritoneal Dialysis

The main objectives of peritoneal dialysis are:

• Removing waste and excess fluid from the blood;
• Control blood pressure;
• Support at a safe level of salts in the body (potassium, sodium and chlorine).

• Nausea, vomiting;
• Headache;
• Feeling the heat, Sweating, weakness and / or dizziness;

How is peritoneal dialysis?

Preparation for the procedure

Peritoneal dialysis is often possible to perform a home-.

Cover the abdomen is called the peritoneal membrane. It is used to filter the blood. Cleaning solution, called dialysate, injected into the abdominal cavity through the tube. Liquids, waste and chemicals pass from the tiny blood vessels of the peritoneal membrane into the dialysate. The dialysate is drained a few hours. It can be added to a new batch of dialysate, to repeat the process.

There are three types of peritoneal dialysis:

Postoyannyi ambulatornyi pyeritonyealinyi dialysis (CAPD) – the most common type of peritoneal dialysis. The dialysate is injected into the abdominal cavity through the tube, called a catheter. He remains there for 3-6 hours, then drained. The abdomen is filled with new solution. Thus, blood is always cleared.

Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) – infusion and refilling abdominal dialysate is performed using a special machine. Held night, during sleep.

Pryeryvistyi pyeritonyealinyi dialysis (EDP) – using the same apparatus, and that CCPD. It, usually, It performed in hospital and often take longer, than CCPD.

How long will peritoneal dialysis?

Time, required for peritoneal dialysis depends on several factors:

• The current function of the kidneys;
• Increasing the amount of liquid after last treatment;
• The amount of waste in the body;
• Body Weight;
• The level of certain salts in the body, such as sodium, potassium chloride;
• Type yspolzuemoho peritoneal dyalyza.
