A medical procedure to remove fluid and waste
products from the blood and to correct electrolyte
imbalances.
 This is accomplished using a machine and a dialyzer,
also referred to as an "artificial kidney."
Hemodialysis is used to treat both acute
(temporary) and chronic (permanent) kidney failure.
WHEN WE NEED DIALYSIS?
‱ FULLY DAMAGED
‱ NEED KIDNEY
TRANSPLANT
CHRONIC
‱ DISEASE
‱ ACCIDENT
ACUTE
TYPES OF DIALYSIS
PERITIONATE DIALYSIS HAEMODIALYSIS
The kidneys are a perfect filter which perform the function of
removal of waste products through the urine.
BASICS OF KIDNEY FUNCTION

MILLIONS OF NEPRONS
GLOMERULUS & TUBULE

Sometimes, when the kidneys get infected and do not function
properly, the person starts suffering which can lead to his/her death.
Such people are put on to artificial kidneys, also known as dialyser.
 Dialyser is a machine that filters the blood of harmful substances.
Blood from a blood vessel is drawn into the dialyser and then
purified to be fed into another blood vessel of the body.
Such people have to be dialysed after every 2-3 days.
Damaged kidneys are also replaced either from a donor or a dead
person.
DIALYSER?????
HISTORY OF DIALYSIS
TYPES OF DIALYSER
PARALLEL PLATE – BLOOD FLOWS BETWEEN
PARALLEL SHEETS OF MEMBRANE-65-86mL
HOLLOW FIBRE- BLOODS FLOWS THROUGH
HOLLOW FIBERS – 70-100mL
DIALYZER MEMBRANE
 Cellulose:
Obtained form processed cotton (regenerated cellulose,
cuprammonium cellulose, cuprammonium rayon and saponified
cellulose)
 Substituted cellulose:
Cellulose polymer has a large number of free hydroxyl group at its
surface
 Free hydroxyl group are responsible for blood cell activation causing
bio-incompatibiltiy of the dialyzer (cellulose acetate, cellulose
diacetate, triacetate)
 Synthetic material e.g(polyacrylorinate, polysulfone)
PRINCIPLES OF HAEMODIALYSIS
Dialysis works on the principles of the
diffusion of solutes and ultrafiltration of fluid
across a semi-permeable membrane.
Diffusion is a property of substances in water
substances in water tend to move from an
area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration.
DIFFUSION
‱ 10-20 Micrometer thickness
‱ Pores about 500nm
‱ >5000 – pass easily
‱ (5000- 40000)- pass slowly
‱ Remove amino acids, some drugs
OSMOSIS
‱ A process by which molecules of a solvent
tend to pass through a semipermeable
membrane from a less concentrated solution
into a more concentrated one.
ULTRAFILTRATION
The movement of water across a membrane
as a result of hydrostatic pressure is called
Ultrafiltration.
Working of dialysis machine
Importance of Dialysis
The dialysis fluid
Mixing of dialysis fluid
Dialysate temperature
Blood leak detector
The extracorporeal blood circuit
Access of circulation
