http://www.nucleusinc.com/medical-animation Dialysis. This 3D medical animation shows the two types of dialysis procedures for removing waste and excess fluid in the body when the kidneys stop functioning properly. Dialysis can also be done to treat acute kidney failure or to remove drugs or poisons from the body. In one type of dialysis, called hemodialysis, a dialyzer machine is used to clean the blood outside the body. In a peritoneal dialysis, the membranes lining the abdomen and intestines, called the peritoneum, is used to clean the blood without removing it from the body.

@peterchowhk i dont think they will since the point of it is so that people wont use it for mass presentations etc...for that you need to buy the software...this is only for people who want to learn or doctors with their patients

That's a brilliant explaination, thank you very much for positing. I have a friend who goes through this three times a week and I wanted to learn more about it.

@TheSarahABrown Hey, using a catheter is an option (via subclavian or int.jugular) but it's mostly the very high risk of infection that makes AV fistula the preferred option. The catheter is useful in an emergency though cos you don't have to wait 6 weeks for it to be ready.

There is a place that does Dialysis near where I live. I never want to have a Dialysis! I'm glad I keep my kidneys healthy :(

And why can't they put people to sleep during the Dialysis ? :/

My friend had peritoneal dialysis because of a staph infection, his kidneys almost completely failed, he is only 16

Really? I remember reading that the high change in blood pressure across the artery-vein boundary would cause rupture, especially on the weaker, thinner-walled venous end.

And even so, that still does not help the fact that the blood has been effectively short-circuited, and like the analogy to electronics, drastically reduces supply to the original intended target.

@1RadicalOne Actually fistulas are very strong and tend to last many years, longer than the graft.

What the fistula does is expand and strengthen the vein connected to the artery making repeated needle insertions easier and with less risk.

People with veins which are not expected to expand to a big enough size or strength are given the graft.

In the graft is where you would insert the second needle, instead of the vein, but grafts tend to clot much more and sometimes cause infections.
