dialysis protocols

Dialysis is a medical treatment that temporarily replaces kidney function by removing waste, excess fluid, and balancing electrolytes from the blood. Protocols typically involve scheduled sessions, often several times a week, using a machine called a dialyzer. Blood is drawn from the patient, cleaned in the dialyzer through a semi-permeable membrane where waste and excess fluids are filtered out, then returned to the body. Protocols are tailored based on individual needs, kidney function levels, and health status, and may vary in duration and frequency to optimize safety and effectiveness.
