Jab kidneys apna kaam theek se nahi kar paate—blood se waste aur extra paani filter karna—tab doctor dialysis suggest kar sakta hai. Ye ek artificial filtering system jaisa hai jo body ko temporarily support karta hai.
Common type, hemodialysis, me patient ka blood machine ke through pass hota hai jisme ek special filter hota hai (dialyzer). Ye waste products aur extra fluid remove karta hai, phir clean blood body me wapas jaata hai. Session usually 3–4 ghante ka hota hai, week me multiple times.
Dusra type, peritoneal dialysis, me abdomen lining ek natural filter ki tarah use hoti hai. Special fluid belly cavity me dala jata hai, jo kuch time baad waste lekar bahar nikala jata hai. Ye process ghar pe bhi trained patients kar sakte hain, but discipline high chahiye.
Dialysis treatment tiring lag sakta hai—post-session fatigue, BP variation, diet and fluid restrictions, time commitment. Lekin ye therapy patients ko symptoms se relief, life extension, aur everyday functioning ka chance deti hai, especially jab transplant immediately possible na ho.
Har patient ka experience different hota hai. Shock, denial, slowly acceptance—ye emotional phases common hain. Education, family support, aur dialysis team ke saath honest communication is journey ko manageable banate hain.
