Understanding Dialysis
Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for individuals with kidney failure. It performs the essential functions of healthy kidneys, such as removing waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. There are two main types of dialysis:
- Hemodialysis: This type involves using a machine to filter waste and extra fluids from your blood. It typically requires visits to a dialysis center several times a week.
- Peritoneal Dialysis: This type uses the lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) to filter your blood inside your body. It can often be done at home, providing more flexibility and control over your treatment.
Signs You May Need Dialysis
Dialysis becomes necessary when your kidneys can no longer effectively filter your blood. Common signs that you may need dialysis include:
- Severe Fatigue: Persistent and extreme tiredness.
- Swelling: Noticeable swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet due to fluid retention.
- Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing as a result of fluid buildup in the lungs.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Persistent gastrointestinal issues.
- Confusion: Mental confusion or decreased alertness.
- Decreased Urine Output: Significant reduction in urine production.
