GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In hemodialysis, fluid is removed by ultrafiltration using the dialysis membrane. The pressure on the dialysate side is lower so water moves from the blood (place of higher pressure) to the dialysate (place of lower pressure). This is how the hemodialysis treatment removes fluid.

Detailed explanation-2: -With hemodialysis one supplements calcium and bicarbonate, while removing potassium, magnesium, and urea and other toxins using diffusion. Water and sodium are removed by ultrafiltration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemodialysis (HD) is primarily a diffusion-based transfer of small solutes. Diffusion is dependent on Fick’s law.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diffusion dialysis (DD) is an ion-exchange membrane (IEM) separation process driven by concentration gradient. Since the driving force for the separation process is mainly concentration gradient, diffusion dialysis is known as a spontaneous separation process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hemodialysis is a procedure where a dialysis machine and a special filter called an artificial kidney, or a dialyzer, are used to clean your blood. To get your blood into the dialyzer, the doctor needs to make an access, or entrance, into your blood vessels. This is done with minor surgery, usually to your arm.
