Artificial Kidney or Hemodialysis is a medical technology used in the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition in which the kidneys can no longer perform their normal functions. The applications of the Artificial Kidney are:
Hemodialysis: It is the most common form of dialysis used in ESRD treatment, which involves the use of a dialysis machine and a semipermeable membrane to filter waste from the blood.
Peritoneal Dialysis: A type of dialysis that uses the patient's own peritoneal cavity as a natural filter to remove waste from the bloodstream.
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD): A type of peritoneal dialysis that allows patients to perform dialysis at home or work without the need for a machine.
Home Hemodialysis: A type of hemodialysis that allows patients to perform dialysis at home with a compact, portable dialysis machine.
