What is Dialysis?
Dialysis
FromGreek
dialusis Dissolution
dia -through
lysis - loosening or splitting
What is Dialysis?
Only those molecules that are small enough to fit through the
membrane pores are able move through the membrane and
reach equilibrium with the entire volume of solution in the
system.

Example
History of Dialysis
Over the following two years, Kolff used his machine to treat 16
patients suffering fromacute kidney failure, but the results were
unsuccessful.

Principle
Principle
The main fluid (eg blood) flows by one side of a semipermeable membrane, and a dialysate, or special
dialysis fluid, flows by the opposite side.
Types of Dialysis
There are three primary and two secondary types of
dialysis:
I.
Hemodialysis (primary),
II.
Peritoneal dialysis(primary)
III.
Hemofiltration(primary)
IV.
Hemodiafiltration(secondary)

Types of Dialysis
Hemodialysis
Types of Dialysis
Blood flows through the fibers, dialysis solution flows around the
outside of the fibers, and water and wastes move between these
two solutions.
The cleansed blood is then returned via the circuit back to the body.
Types of Dialysis
Peritoneal Dialysis
Types of Dialysis
A drain process is the process that follows in which the dialysate full
with waste products and extra fluid is drained out of patient's blood.

Types of Dialysis
Hemofiltration
Salts and water lost from the blood during this process are
replaced with a "substitution fluid" that is infused into
theextracorporealcircuit during the treatment.

Intestinal dialysis
The ends of the bundle are encased in tubesheets and the tubesheets
seal to an external plastic housing that encloses the fibre bundle.
The case possesses two external ports on either end of the fibre bundle
and two ports along the periphery of the case.
This design allows introduction of a fluid stream through one of the end
ports into the fibre lumens (i.e., interior) and withdrawal from the
opposing end.
Similarly, one may introduce a fluid stream into the shell (i.e., space
external to the fibres) through a peripheral port and withdraw it from
the other.
Such hollow fibre modules are the mass transfer equivalent of a shell
and tube heat exchanger two fluid streams flow through the hollow
fibre or tube bundle, without direct mixing, while mass or heat transfer
occurs across the fibre or tube wall.
