Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis or hemodialysis is a therapy for dialysis outside the body. This therapy is generally carried out by people with kidney problems whose kidneys are no longer functioning optimally. Basically, the human body is capable of washing blood automatically, but if there is a problem with the kidneys, the condition will be different. Kidneys are organs that have a very vital role in the body. This organ is responsible for filtering the blood. In addition to cleaning the blood in the body, the kidneys also form substances that keep the body healthy. However, in people with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, this organ is no longer able to function properly. The conditions above make the body require dialysis using medical devices. In other words, in this condition, hemodialysis replaces the role of the kidney when the organ is no longer able to work effectively.
