As the vital organs, the kidneys must be treated as possible. If not, kidney failure, body condition requiring treatment with dialysis or transplant, must be endured.
Although small, the organ is considered to be very vital one. Kidney or called person as the kidneys functioning as a place to cleanse the blood of various substances the body’s metabolism and toxicity results are not needed in the form of urine.
Urine produced continuously from minute to minute in the kidney, then flowed through the urinary tract into the bladder. If enough urine in the bladder, it will arise stimulus urination.
Urine will be expelled from the body through channels called the urethra (located in the genitals). Amount of urine is released each day ranges from 1-2 liters. That way, the kidneys also function to maintain balance and regulate the concentration and composition of body fluids.
So many of kidney function. Therefore, if there are disorders that disrupt kidney, can we suffer various illnesses. Abnormalities can occur due to abnormalities in the kidneys (primary kidney disease). Can also be caused by complications of systemic diseases (secondary renal disease), such as diabetes (diabetes), and others.
Mild abnormalities in the kidneys can be cured completely if the cause can be overcome. Sometimes just with medication and diet regulation.
Conversely, if deteriorated, severe kidney disorder becomes acute renal failure. When allowed to simply get to a chronic stage, it will continue to be a terminal kidney failure.
Dialysis
Kidney failure can be treated by hemodialysis (dialysis). Dialysis is the process of separation (filtering) the remnants of metabolism through the semipermeable membrane in the dialysis machine dialiser.
Blood that is pumped back into the net in the body. Dialysis can be done in a hospital or clinic that has a hemodialysis unit. In addition to hemodialysis, there are also therapy called peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis was performed on the body lining of the abdominal cavity.
Assisted the process of dialysis is inserted into the abdominal cavity through a rubber tube fitted with a small operation.
Peritoneal membrane serves to filter and get the rest of metabolism. This can occur because blood vessels in the peritoneal membrane of kidney function as a filter.
