This could be due to infection, shock or some accident. Wastes like urea, creatinine, uric acid and ammonium ions remain in the blood system instead of being excreted. An accumulation of these substances is toxic to the human system. If not treated in time, it could be fatal. The treatments available are dialysis or a transplant. Dialysis is also called haemodialysis or dialysis of the blood. It is a machine that eliminates excess salts and nitrogenous wastes from blood by filteration. It does not absorb or secrete anything. Transplantation is a major operation through which failed or dysfunctional kidney is replaced with a healthy one. During dialysis, the patient’s blood from the radial artery is passed into the machine and returned to a vein in the same arm. The dialysis fluid is changed regularly to remove wastes and to maintain a diffusion gradient between the patient’s blood and the dialysis fluid. The dialysis machine contains the following parts; a steel tub with a filter filled with a warm fluid set at 37 o C. As the dialysis fluid enters the blood stream directly, its temperature is maintained at 37 o C in the tub, to suit the patient’s body temperature. The machine also has a narrow tubular coil of cellophane with pores and a sterile dialysis fluid. The tubular coil of cellophane is semi-permeable in nature, allows small molecules to pass through, prevents blood cells and large proteins from leaving and provides large surface area for exchange of material. The sterile dialysis fluid surrounds the cellophane tube and contains regulated amounts of dissolved salts and sugars. This procedure has to be carried out until the kidney is replaced with a new one. Once a kidney fails, there are very rare chances of its healing. Compared to dialysis, kidney transplant is associated with a better quality of life, lower risk of death, fewer dietary restrictions and lower cost of treatment compared to a lifetime on dialysis. You can keep your kidney healthy by keeping yourself active; maintain your weight, control sugar level, blood pressure, avoiding over the counter pills, avoiding smoking and maintaining a healthy fluid intake.
