The blood is then pumped from this vessel into a dialysis machine where it is cleaned by a solution called dialysate. ]]> 2018-12-02 01:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310115955 Benefits l_carpenter11120 https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116564 Patient requires no special training because they are regularly monitored by someone who provides dialysis professionally. ]]> 2018-12-02 01:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116564 How it Works l_carpenter11120 https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116725 The peritoneal membrane is a semipermeable sac surrounding the abdominal organs. During peritoneal dialysis this membrane acts the same as the dialysis machine used in Hemodialysis. The blood is cleaned by the same dialysate through a plastic cube called a peritoneal catheter. ]]> 2018-12-02 01:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116725 Benefits l_carpenter11120 https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116807 Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis allows the patient to undergo dialysis without spending several days a week at a dialysis clinic]]> 2018-12-02 01:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116807 Diet l_carpenter11120 https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116870 All dialysis patients should follow a high protein diet with lower amounts of potassium and phosphate. Fluids must also be limited because excess fluids make body tissues swell]]> 2018-12-02 01:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116870 Survival Rates l_carpenter11120 https://padlet.com/l_carpenter11120/eeuc83z1sga5/wish/310116932 After 1 year - 77%
