ʻO ka hemodialysis kahi hana lapaʻau e kōkua ai i ka wehe ʻana i nā mea ʻōpala a me nā wai nui mai ke koko ke holo pono ʻole nā puʻupaʻa.Hoʻohana ia i ka mīkini i kapa ʻia he dialyzer, e hana ana ma ke ʻano he puʻupaʻa hana.I loko o ka dialyzer, kahe ke koko ma waena o nā fiber lahilahi i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi hopena dialysis kūikawā i kapa ʻia ʻo dialysate.Kōkua ka dialysate i ka kānana ʻana i nā mea ʻōpala, e like me ka urea a me ka creatinine, mai ke koko.Hiki ke kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ke koena o nā electrolytes, e like me ka sodium a me ka potassium, i loko o ke kino.Hiki ke hana ʻia kēia ma o ka hoʻopili ʻana ma waena o ke aʻa a me ka vein, i kapa ʻia ʻo arteriovenous fistula a i ʻole graft.ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia ka catheter no kekahi manawa i loko o kahi vein nui, maʻamau ma ka ʻāʻī a i ʻole ka ʻāʻī. Hiki ke lawe ʻia nā manawa hemodialysis i kekahi mau hola a maʻamau e hana ʻia ʻekolu manawa o ka pule ma kahi kikowaena dialysis a halemai paha.I ka wā o ke kaʻina hana, nānā pono ʻia ka mea maʻi e hōʻoia i ka paʻa o ko lākou koko, ka puʻuwai, a me nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe.Kōkua ia i ka mālama ʻana i ke koena o ka wai a me ka electrolyte, hoʻomalu i ke koko, a hoʻoneʻe i nā huahana ʻōpala mai ke kino.Eia naʻe, he mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole he lāʻau lapaʻau ka hemodialysis no ka maʻi kīkī akā he ala e mālama ai i kāna mau hōʻailona a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ke ola.
