Bicarbonate Dialysis

Bicarbonate dialysis is a medical treatment for patients with severe kidney failure. During this process, blood is drawn from the body and cleaned using a special machine called a dialysis machine. The machine filters out waste, excess fluids, and toxins, then adds back a solution containing bicarbonate, a natural substance that helps maintain the body's acid-base balance. This process helps restore healthy blood chemistry, supports proper functioning of organs, and corrects imbalances caused by kidney impairment. In essence, bicarbonate dialysis replaces some kidney functions, assisting in maintaining overall health.
