Treatments for kidney failure

Watch the video to understand how diaylsis work Drag the descriptions below to the correct table to show the differences between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis blood is filtered outside the body more effective treatment is performed in hospital centre frequency 3 times per week for four hours Risk : blood infection more expensive the filtering membrane is artificial an artificial filtering membrane is used in the dialysis tubing Peritoneal dialysis less expensive blood is filter inside the abdomen treatment can be performed at home less effective(thus needs to be performed more frequently for longer period of time to get a comparable result with hemodialysis) Risk: abdominal infection the lining of the abdomen acts as the filtering membrane natural filtering membrane (lining of the abdomen) is used Match the following features about the composition of the dialysing fluid with the correct significance. Some solutes (e.g. glucose) are at similar concentration as the blood plasma To ensure these solutes will not be lost from blood as there is no concentration gradient between the fluid and the blood plasma Some solutes(e.g. urea and other metabolic wastes) are absent. To establish a steep concentration gradient for these solutes to be removed effectively from the blood by net diffusion. Heparin is added This acts as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting. By your understanding on how the kidney tubule and the kidney dialysis machine (hemodialysis) work, state 2 structural similarities between them. By your understanding on how the kidney tubule and the kidney dialysis machine (hemodialysis) work, state and explain one difference on the nature of the processes involved. Kidney transplant is considered the best solution for patients with kidney failure, yet patients usually need to wait for a long time to get such treatment. With your own knowledge, explain 2 reasons behind. Which of the following is present in the dialysing fluid flowing out from a dialysis machine? glucose glucose and urea glucose and plasma proteins urea and plasma proteins
