dialysis

Definition of dialysis in English English dictionary: haemodialysis; a method of separating molecules or particles of different sizes by differential diffusion through a semipermeable membrane; An artificial process by which the toxic waste products of food and excess water are removed from the body Dialysis therefore takes over some of the work normally performed by healthy kidneys The name dialysis comes from a Greek word meaning 'to separate' - i e , to separate out the 'bad things' in the blood from the 'good things'; A process that allows diffusion of solutes dissolved in blood across a semi-permeable membrane into another solution and vice versa This means it removes waste products through this special membrane and bicarbonate can diffuse across to the blood to neutralize acid In this way an imbalance in the body caused by kidney failure can be corrected; {i} separation of colloids in a solution (Chemistry); removal of waste matter from the blood of a person whose kidneys do not work (Medicine); the process of separating crystalloids and colloids in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane, used to remove metabolites and toxins from body fluids; a phenomenon in which a semipermeable membrane allows transfer of both solvent molecules and small solute molecules and ions; a way to partially replace the work of the kidneys; with dialysis, the blood is cleaned either by using a special solution and the tissues within the body (peritoneal dialysis) or with an artificial kidney machine (hemodialysis); hemodialysis; Dialysis is a form of diffusion, i e , a form of filtration to separate a crystalloid from colloid substance in a solution by interposing a semi-permeable membrane between the solution and water The crystalloid substances pass through the membrane into the water on the other side, the colloids do not; A medical procedure used to remove poisons and excessive amounts of drugs or other substances from blood Often used in persons with kidney disease; a procedure for cleansing the blood using membranes to filter out waste elements Kidney dialysis is used to substitute for the function of damaged or absent kidneys; n (die-AL-eh-sis) Mechanical process that partly performs the work that healthy kidneys normally do The main functions of dialysis include clearing wastes from the blood; restoring proper balance of certain electrolytes in the blood; and eliminating extra fluid from the body For people with end-stage renal disease, dialysis is the only way to prolong life, other than receiving a kidney transplant; The process of cleaning wastes from the blood artificially See also hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis; - the process of artificially cleansing the blood in persons whose kidneys no longer function properly Dialysis can be done either by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; the separation of substances in solution by means of their unequal diffusion through semipermeable membranes; the separation of small solute particles from colloid particles by means of a semi-permeable membrane; A separation operation in which substances in solution having widely different moleuclar weights are separated by diffusion through a semipermeable membrane; the separation of molecules of different types from heterogeneous, dissolved or suspended substances; Separation of substances in solution by means of their unequal diffusion through membrane, such as separation of colloids from solubles See also (1) renal dialysis (2) hemodialysis (3) IPD (4) CAPD (5) CCPD (6) peritoneal dialysis; a machine that basically acts as artificial kidneys which is used to treat renal failure; The AV fistula causes the vein to grow thicker, allowing the repeated needle insertions required for hemodialysis; Diæresis; Dialysis or kidney dialysis is a method of treating kidney failure by using a machine to remove waste material from the kidneys. I was on dialysis for seven years before my first transplant. the process of taking harmful substances out of someone's blood using a special machine, because their kidneys do not work properly (, from lyein ). In chemistry, separation of suspended colloidal (see colloid) particles from dissolved ions or small molecules via their unequal rates of diffusion through pores of semipermeable membranes (e.g., parchment, collodion, cellophane). A slow process, dialysis may be accelerated by heating or by applying an electric field if the particles are charged. or hemodialysis Process of removing blood from a patient with kidney failure, purifying it with a hemodialyzer (artificial kidney), and returning it to the bloodstream. Many substances (including urea and inorganic salts) in the blood pass through a porous membrane in the machine into a sterile solution; particles such as blood cells and proteins are too large to pass. This process controls the acid-base balance of the blood and its content of water and dissolved materials; The separation of different substances in solution, as crystalloids and colloids, by means of their unequal diffusion, especially through natural or artificial membranes; the separation of a colloid from a substance in solution by allowing the solution to diffuse through a semipermeable membrane; The separation of components of a solution by diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane which is capable of passing certain ions or molecules while rejecting others; a medical treatment that filters the blood to remove liquids and chemicals that would normally be removed by functioning kidneys Hemodialysis or blood dialysis is an efficient method of removing oxalate Peritoneal dialysis using the lining around the interstinal tract is an effective dialysis method for kidney failure but is not efficient in removing oxalate; separation of substances in solution by means of their unequal diffusion through semipermeable membranes; Same as Asyndeton; (dye-AL-ih-sis): The process of cleansing the blood when the kidneys are not able to filter the blood; A solution of continuity; division; separation of parts; the process of diffusing blood across a semipermeable membrane to remove toxic materials and to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance in cases of impaired kidney function or absence of the kidneys; The process of cleansing and achieving chemical balance in the blood of patients whose kidneys have failed Dialysis may refer to hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis (PD) See Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis; Debility; An artificial blood-filtering process used to clean the blood of malfunctioning kidneys in patients; See Diæresis, 1
