What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is the process through which a person's blood is cleansed of the toxins the kidneys normally would flush out. It is generally used when %80 – 90 of a person's kidneys no longer function properly. There are two kinds of dialysis used.
Hemodialysis: This procedure is performed at a hospital or dialysis center. The patient is hooked up, via a tube in the veins, to a machine that circulates his blood through a machine, through semi-permeable filters that take out the toxins in the blood. The procedure usually takes three to four hours.
Peritoneal dialysis: Uses the body's peritoneal membrane, inside the abdomen, to infuse a glucose-based solution into the abdominal cavity. The solution remains in the abdomen for about two hours, and is then drained out. The process does not need a dialysis machine.
Biyotem Inc. supplies dialysis services since 1998 at centers of its own.
