<About artificial dialysis>
Artificial dialysis is a treatment that artificially replaces the function of the kidneys. In order to prevent uremia in patients with renal failure, it is necessary to "remove waste products," "maintain electrolytes," and "maintain water content" from the blood by external means.
<Environment and equipment for dialysis treatment at our hospital>
Number of beds: 52
[Equipment] Blood purification equipment for multiple people: 48 units (including 24 online HDF units)
Personal equipment ・・・ 4 units (including 2 offline HDF units)

<Details of dialysis treatment>
Hemodialysis (HD)
This treatment is based on the principle of the movement of substances from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas, and is excellent for removing substances with small molecular weights, electrolytes, and urea, which tend to decrease diffusion.
Hemodiafiltration (online HDF/offline HDF)
HDF is a combination of hemodialysis (HD) and hemofiltration (HF). HD is as described above, but HF is a treatment method in which the blood is filtered by a dialyzer and the same amount of replacement fluid is replenished from the blood circuit, and it is excellent in removing relatively large substances. In other words, a treatment method called HDF combines the advantages of the two treatment methods.
Online HDF (on-line HDF) connects the replacement fluid to the dialysate supply line and uses the online adjusted dialysate made from the dialysate as the replacement fluid. Offline HDF (off-line HDF) means that the replacement fluid is put in a bag or bottle, and is separated from the dialysate supply line. Online HDF can remove more waste products.
Foot care (for early detection of lower extremity lesions)
Narrowing or blockage of blood vessels causes ischemia, and gangrene necessitates amputation of the area. In order to prevent severe lower extremity ischemia, we regularly check the condition of the legs, and if there are any abnormalities, we refer the patient to a specialist doctor or specialized medical institution for early detection and early treatment.
