Detailed explanation-1: -When your kidneys aren’t working properly, dialysis is used to try to achieve balance by imitating the fluid and toxin removal functions of healthy kidneys. But for many kidney patients, treating three times per week may not be enough dialysis, and this can hurt their heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average life expectancy on dialysis is 5-10 years. However, many patients have lived well on dialysis for 20 or even 30 years. Talk to your healthcare team about how to take care of yourself and stay healthy on dialysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood passes along the tube and into an external machine that filters it, before it’s passed back into the arm along another tube. At dialysis centres, this is usually carried out 3 days a week, with each session lasting around 4 hours. It can also be done at home.
