Q: When is dialysis needed? A: You need dialysis when you develop end stage kidney failure – usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function. Haemodialysis (HD) blood taken from the body to be cleaned in a filter known as a dialyser (artificial kidney). A dialyser works on the principle of blood flowing along one side of a semi-permeable membrane made of cellulose or a similar product, with the dialysate flowing along the other side. The dialysate is a fluid with essential minerals and is devoid of toxic products; which comes in close contact with blood separated by a semipermeable membrane. Then there is exchange of substance between the dialysate & the patient’s blood; by way of diffusion, convention & osmosis the “cleaned” blood given back to the patient.
