  High blood pressure is a leading cause of renal diseases and kidney failure . High blood pressure can constrict and narrow the blood vessels, which eventually damages and weakens them throughout the body, including in the kidneys. The narrowing reduces blood flow. If your kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may no longer work properly. When this happens, the kidneys are not able to remove all wastes and extra fluid from your body.

A person's glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering wastes from the blood. GFR is estimated from a routine measurement of creatinine in t...

Renal replacement therapy  (RRT) is a therapy that replaces the blood-filtering function of the kidneys . It is used once the kidneys don't seem to be operating well which is termed as renal failure and it includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement medical aid includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration, which measure numerous ways of filtration of blood with or with not machines. Renal replacement medical care related includes kidney transplantation , which is that the final variety of replacement during this, the previous kidney is replaced by a donor's kidney. It’s also utilized in some specific cases of poisoning/overdose when the kidney cannot clear the toxin fast enough. Hemofiltration is a renal replacement therapy that is used in the intensive care setting. Kidney transplantation is pointed out for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).  Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects up t...

Dialysis is the process of removing the excess of water, solute, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. Image result for dialysis Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine. Most of the people are suffering from kidney disease and one million people die every year because of kidney disease. Kidney disease often can deteriorate after some time and may lead to renal failure and if kidney working conditions fail, you will require dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain health conditions. If the kidney’s function fails, there are major chances of having a stroke or heart attack, high blood pressure , and bone diseases are that as it may, dialysis isn't a solution for kidney ailments or different issues influencing the kidneys There are 3 different types of dialysis 1. Hemodialysis: It is a system of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not running commonly and is the ch...
