Kidney failure develops when the kidneys are unable to perform their functions adequately and the blood cannot be effectively cleansed. In such cases, dialysis is a vital treatment method that takes over the role of the kidneys, removing waste products and excess fluid from the body. Also known as 'renal replacement therapy', dialysis offers the following benefits for the body:
* Helps to remove protein metabolism waste products such as urea and uric acid from the body.
* Contributes to maintaining the mineral and electrolyte balance in the blood serum.
* Ensures the prevention of acidosis by keeping blood pH within an appropriate range.
* Helps alleviate symptoms of edema and swelling by removing accumulated excess fluid from the body.
* Assists in controlling high blood pressure (hypertension) that develops due to kidney failure.
* Supports the maintenance of overall metabolic balance, contributing to optimal cellular activity.
