Abdominal dialysis is a medical procedure that is used to treat kidney disease when the kidneys are not working properly. The purpose of this procedure is to remove unnecessary substances from the blood and restore normal functioning of the organ. Dialysis can be performed in several different ways, depending on the specific problem and the severity of the patient's condition. In this article we will look at some of the methods and benefits of abdominal dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis (BPD) is a method of dialysis therapy that involves the mechanical removal of blood filtrate through the peritoneum, through which protein, hydrating agents, lipids, electrolytes and metabolites penetrate. BPD can be carried out either continuously or repeatedly throughout the day. An abdominal dialysis session takes about 4-6 hours, which makes it possible to bring the Pv value closer to the physiological value. After the session is completed, the dialysis fluid is removed and the catheter is reused. The catheter is placed in a new place and the session is repeated. Thus, the session can last for several hours and be accompanied by therapeutic nutrition. Abdominal pleural dialysis (APD) and abdominal peritoneal dialysis have not been performed despite their theoretical effectiveness. However, in case of severe septic process, it is better to perform a moderate number of peritoneal dialysis sessions. In case of peritoneal sepsis, DPD sessions or abdominal peritoneal dialysis should always be resorted to, since the effectiveness of peritoneal dialysis is lower than the effectiveness of intestinal peritoneal dialysis. The most common way to perform BPD is to treat a single liver or single salt plasma solution in the abdominal area. Administration of the dissolution is usually accomplished by inserting the vessel transversely at a 30° angle of 2 cm into the acute basal peritoneum or, less commonly, under the pelvic spleen. The distal end of the catheter is carefully lowered towards the central area of the abdominal surface perpendicular to the superficial incision or percutaneous artery. Once the distal portion of the catheter is within the skin, the guide tube is gently pushed back along the center of the submend to bring the catheter completely out. During dialysis sessions of treatment with one liver, the entire solution may be in the peritoneal cavity or only half of the solution, followed by its removal and the addition of a new solution.
