Explain the temporary and permanent methods to be adopted for Kidney failure (ESRD) persons. |
|
Answer» Temporary method for ESRD persons is Dialysis (Artificial kidney). Permanent method is transplantation of kidney. Dialysis: 1. Blood is taken out from the main artery, mixed with an anticoagulant, such as heparin and then pumped in to dialyzer. 2. In dialyzer blood flows through cellophane tubes and these tubes are embeded in the dialysing fluid. 3. The membrane separates the blood flowing inside the tube and dialysing fluid (same as plasma without nitrogenous waste). Kidney transplantation: 1. A functioning kidney is used in transplantation from a donor preferably a close relative. 2. The kidney that is received by a recipient must be a good match to his body, to minimise the chances of rejection by the immune system of the recipient. 3. Nowadays the process of organ donation helps a lot for kidney failure patients. |
