Diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and other diseases lead to end-stage renal failure, where the kidneys are unable to process the water and urine toxins in the body, which is the main reason for dialysis treatment.
Professor Wu Zhiren of the Department of Nephrology at Makai Memorial Hospital said that hemodialysis in dialysis hospitals, is through the patient's vascular access (artificial blood vessels or fistulas) dialysis, two to three times a week, each time about four hours, will be two to three days in the body of the waste one-time removal; and home peritoneal dialysis is the use of the peritoneal membrane every day to clean up the body's wastes, like installments, relatively less acute symptoms. There are fewer acute symptoms. In the long run, the convenience of being able to operate dialysis at home is relatively high.
Peritoneal dialysis with pre-implantation catheterization
The timing of catheterization is a key factor in when you can start peritoneal dialysis. The first step in the process is to make sure that you have the best possible results, and that you have the best possible chance of getting the best out of your system. If you are a patient with end-stage renal disease and want to choose peritoneal dialysis in the future, you can arrange to have a catheter implanted for peritoneal dialysis in advance, so that you can avoid the torture.
Prof. Chih-Jen Wu pointed out that the pre-implantation of the catheter is to implant the catheter into the peritoneal cavity before dialysis, and the catheter outlet is temporarily buried under the skin, and the catheter wound will have sufficient time to heal, and then the catheter outlet can be pulled out of the body when dialysis is needed (generally, the clinical evaluation of dialysis will be done three months after the implantation of the catheter).
Peritoneal dialysis time is more free and there is cloud information for reference
Peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane to filter out water and waste, dialysis, the waste liquid is discharged through the catheter to the empty bag, and then the dialysis solution is introduced into the peritoneal cavity, and the manual wash is changed 4-5 times a day, each time about 20 minutes; Borrowing the machine automatic washing is to connect the catheter to the machine automatic execution when sleeping, daytime time can be used freely.
Prof. Wu said, automatic peritoneal dialysis in the patient sleep automatically change the fluid, how much dialysis fluid inflow and waste fluid discharge are recorded, can also be uploaded to the cloud database, in the patient, caregiver and medical institutions, there is a complete data for reference to tracking the condition of the follow-up treatment plan.
Peritoneal dialysis can be used to maintain residual renal function, but it is also less restrictive in terms of dietary restrictions. When patients are faced with the choice of dialysis treatment, they should learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of different dialysis modalities and communicate fully with their healthcare team to choose the most suitable dialysis mode.
Prof. Chih-Jen Wu said that automatic peritoneal dialysis automatically changes the fluid while the patient is sleeping, and how much dialysis fluid flows in and out of the waste fluid is recorded and can be uploaded to the cloud database, so that the patient, the caregiver, and the healthcare provider can have complete data for reference to track the condition and plan for follow-up treatments.
