Hemodialysis (HD) is a therapeutic dialysis procedure used in nephrology, which is based on the principle of blood filtration and is the most common dialysis procedure used in nephrology worldwide.The therapeutic success of hemodialysis is based, among other things, on the use of various buffer substances so that the altered acid-base balance of patients with … Hemodialysis
Hemofiltration is a therapeutic procedure in internal medicine, particularly nephrology, which allows the removal of urinary substances from the blood and is used to precisely adjust other parameters and thus can contribute to the removal of harmful substances from the blood as a dialysis procedure. Hemofiltration removes fluid from the blood without the need for … Hemofiltration
Home hemodialysis (HHD) is a therapeutic nephrology procedure that uses extracorporeal blood purification to detoxify the blood. However, the peculiarity of home hemodialysis is that this dialysis procedure is not performed in a specialized dialysis center, as is usually the case, but in the renal insufficient patient’s own household. As a result of performing hemodialysis … Home Hemodialysis
Peritoneal dialysis is a therapeutic procedure in nephrology, which is an intracorporeal (inside the body) blood purification procedure used to detoxify the blood and thus the entire organism. Peritoneal dialysis is divided into different subsystems. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) are of particular importance for home dialysis treatment. For a … Home Peritoneal Dialysis
For both home hemodialysis and home peritoneal dialysis, home dialysis training represents an important tool for improving the quality of performance of the respective procedure, which should subsequently contribute to an improvement in the success of therapy. In addition, performing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in the patient’s own home should considerably improve the quality of … Training for Home Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a therapeutic nephrology procedure used for primarily intracorporeal (inside the body) blood purification. Decisive for the functional principle of peritoneal dialysis are the anatomical and physiological conditions of the peritoneal membrane (lining of the inner abdominal wall). This lining mesothelium (synonym: tunica serosa) forms a cavity, the cavitas peritonealis (abdominal cavity), … Peritoneal Dialysis
Hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a therapeutic procedure in internal medicine, particularly nephrology, which is an extracorporeal blood purification procedure that is a combination of hemodialysis and hemofiltration. The primary field of application of hemodiafiltration is the use of the system in the permanent therapy of chronic renal insufficiency. Due to this combination of the two blood … Hemodiafiltration
