Our kidneys are among the most important organs in our body, and their main job is to filter waste products and excess fluid from our blood and remove them from the body. However, in conditions such as kidney failure, they cannot perform these tasks and toxins can build up in the body. This is where dialysis comes in.<\/p>\n

Dialysis is a treatment method that takes over the function the kidneys should perform, clearing excess fluid and waste from the body. Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for patients with kidney failure and performs kidney function temporarily or permanently.<\/p>\n

Dialysis can be applied in two main ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Hemodialysis:<\/strong> In this method, the patient\u2019s blood is taken from the body through a special machine, filtered and returned once cleaned. This is done several times a week at a dialysis center, and each session usually lasts 3\u20135 hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Peritoneal Dialysis:<\/strong> In this method, the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) acts as a filter through a catheter placed in the abdominal cavity. Dialysis fluid is sent into the abdominal cavity, where toxins are filtered out and removed from the body. This method is usually done at home and can be managed by the patient.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What Should You Pay Attention to During Dialysis?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In addition to the right treatment, lifestyle changes are very important for dialysis patients. A healthy diet, regular exercise and following the doctor\u2019s advice can increase the effectiveness of treatment. In particular, intake of substances such as salt, potassium and phosphorus should be kept under control. Patients should also have their blood values checked regularly and be careful about the risk of infection.<\/p>\n

    Dialysis is an effective treatment that improves the quality of life of patients with kidney failure.
