Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to filter and clean the blood of people whose kidneys are not functioning properly. During hemodialysis, blood is drawn from the body and passed through a machine that removes waste products and excess fluid before returning it to the body.
A hemodialysis session usually lasts between 3 and 4 hours. However, the duration may vary depending on the patient's individual needs.
The frequency of hemodialysis sessions depends on the patient's condition and the doctor's recommendation. In general, hemodialysis is performed 3 to 4 times a week.
Hemodialysis helps remove waste products and excess fluid from the body, which helps maintain the chemical balance in the blood. It also helps control blood pressure and prevent complications associated with kidney failure.
Some of the risks and side effects of hemodialysis may include low blood pressure, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, infections, and blood clots. However, these risks can be minimized and managed with proper medical supervision.
