Dialysis Kenya
Dialysis is a process of removing waste and excess water from the blood and is used primarily as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with kidney failure.
There are two types of dialysis : peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis
a) In Hemodialysis , blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine, and returned to your body by tubes that connect you to the machine.
b)Peritoneal Dialysis: the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid called dialysate, which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.The abdominal cavity is lined with a special membrane, the peritoneal membrane. A plastic tube called a ” peritoneal dialysis catheter” is placed through the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. A special fluid is then flushed into the abdominal cavity and washes around the intestines. The peritoneal membrane acts as a filter between this fluid and the blood stream. By using different types of solutions, waste products and excess water can be removed from the body through this process. (This is a list of nephrologists or Kidney specialists in Kenya)
