the crystalline biofilm can eventually block the flow of urine through the catheter. This causes the urine to either leak along the outside of the catheter or to be retained, causing painful distension of the bladder and reflux of urine into the kidneys (Stickler, 2014).

In the natural kidney, most components of the blood are first filtered out using ultrafiltration, and then the essential nutrients like glucose, amino acids, etc. and electrolytes like Na, K, Cl, HCO, Ca, Mg, etc. and water are reabsorbed by passive, active, or facilitated transport. The waste products are reabsorbed and therefore are excreted in the urine. The artificial kidney device called hemodialyzers removes excess waste from the blood using the principle of dialysis. The cleansed blood…

The Faucet Drip — drip — drip.
The water faucet in my kitchen is leaking and getting it to stop is becoming more difficult. The drips were barely noticeable at first, coming every thirty-seconds or so, then faster, until the water became a steady stream of drips.
