Hemodialysis

Your blood is sent through a Dialysis machine that filters away waste products, and then the clean blood is returned to your body. Hemodialysis is usually performed at a dialysis center three times per week for 3 to 4 hours.

To undergo dialysis, AV fistula/ shunt needs to be made on the arm, it is a vascular surgery to make connection between artery and vein.

Hemodialysis carries some disadvantages like:

Psychological problems: Depression, altered self-image
Confusion, seizures/ fits
A-V fistula- takes months to develop
Fistula failure, infection.
Low blood pressure during and after dialysis
Long term Dialysis can cause: memory loss (dementia), bone disease (osteomalacia)
Cost of dialysis, travel to the center, loss of work etc.
Allergic reactions, transmission of diseases.
Blood thinning drugs (Heparin) used during dialysis can cause: hemorrhages, bleeding
