Hemodialysis is a procedure that is substitute for removing waste products such as urea, creatinine, potassium, phosphorus etc. as well as for removing excess water from blood. It is used to artificial replacement for kidneys just like artificial pump for Heart. 1 session of dialysis will take 4 hours to complete. 3 dialysis a week suggested by doctors because Kidneys filter minerals and wastes constantly for 168 hours in a week. Many hospitals seperate room for dialysis or dialysis units where 24 hours dialysis facilities provided with trained technical staff. Dialysis procedure is very painful but it is necessary for life Kidney failure patients but this is not a permanent solution.Kidney transplant is the best solution for this problem patient can live a normal life.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE KIDNEY FAILURE
HOW TO DIAGNOSE KIDNEY FAILURE
Kidneys function can be tested through routine blood tests.- Creatinine. (Normal range is 0.8-1.3)
- Urea. (Normal range is below 50)
- Complete Blood Count.
- Electrolytes.
- Urine Detailed Report. (to measure the amount of protein)
- Abdominal Ultrasound. (to check the size of both kidneys)
HOW TO PREVENT FROM KIDNEY DAMAGE:
Chronic disease such as Hypertension(high blood pressure) and Diabetesare destructive. These disease can damage Kidneys, Liver, Heart, Eye sight, or even Brain. So care for life from hypertension and diabetes is necessary for all of us.CAUSES OF KIDNEY FAILURE
There are various reasons of kidneys failure that effects kidneys. Some problems are acute and some are chronic.
REASONS OF ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE:
In acute kidney failure, kidney function lost rapidly and can work again. It usually happens from injuries.The most common causes of acute kidney failure are related to:- Low blood volume due to blood lost.
- Poor intake of fluid.
- Bad quality of water.
- Dehydration from loss of fluid in body through vomiting,diarrhea,fever,urine infection,excessive sweating etc.
- Abnormal blood flow.
- Medication some medications can harm kidneys like anti-biotics.
- Urinary tract infections.
- Multiple myeloma.
- Stone in kidneys.
REASONS OF CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE:
Chronic kidney failure develops gradually in the body and it can never be reverse.The most common causes of chronic kidney failure are related to:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension or High blood pressure
- Kidney stones
- Prostate disease
- polysistic kidney disease
WHAT IS KIDNEY?
Kidney is the most precious organ of our body.ALLAH gives us two Kidneys to filter blood and helps us to separate wastes such as urea,amonium,creatinine and excess of water from our body in the form of urine.The kidneys receives impure blood from renal artries and sends wastes to ureter and pure blood to the body through renal veins.Each Kidney contains 1 million nephrons to filter waste.Kidneys are located in the back of abdomin and each Kidney connected through spinal cord.Kidney also maintains the balance of electrolytes,controls the blood pressure and stimulates the production of red blood cells in our body.
