Hemodialysis in Critical Care

Hemodialysis in critical care is a medical treatment that filters waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys can't do so effectively. This procedure is often used for patients in intensive care with severe kidney issues. During hemodialysis, blood is drawn from the body, passed through a machine that cleans it, and then returned to the body. This process can help maintain the body's balance of fluids and electrolytes, supporting overall health and recovery. It is an important tool in managing critical conditions where kidney function is impaired.
