MeSH

Therapy for the insufficient cleansing of the BLOOD by the kidneys based on dialysis and including hemodialysis, PERITONEAL DIALYSIS, and HEMODIAFILTRATION.

Year introduced: 2001(1967)

A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

Solutions prepared for exchange across a semipermeable membrane of solutes below a molecular size determined by the cutoff threshold of the membrane material.

Year introduced: 1989

Portable peritoneal dialysis using the continuous (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) presence of peritoneal dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity except for periods of drainage and instillation of fresh solution.

Year introduced: 1986(1982)

Dialysis fluid being introduced into and removed from the peritoneal cavity as either a continuous or an intermittent procedure.

Year introduced: 1966(1964)

Procedures involving non-continuous blood purification (e.g., dialysis, filtration or perfusion) via vascular access with settings for dialysate and blood flow rates and treatment duration settings hybrid between CRRT TECHNIQUE and IRRT TECHNIQUE.

Year introduced: 2020

Devices which can substitute for normally functioning KIDNEYS in removing components from the blood by DIALYSIS that are normally eliminated in the URINE.

Year introduced: 2013 (1966)

Solutions prepared for hemodialysis. The composition of the pre-dialysis solution may be varied in order to determine the effect of solvated metabolites on anoxia, malnutrition, acid-base balance, etc. Of principal interest are the effect of the choice of buffers (e.g., acetate or carbonate), the addition of cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+), and addition of carbohydrates (glucose).

Year introduced: 1991(1989)

Long-term maintenance hemodialysis in the home.

Year introduced: 1973

Hospital units in which care is provided the hemodialysis patient. This includes hemodialysis centers in hospitals.
