Dialysis

those patients who are undergoing dialysis? After reading the review more than once I was left with a clear concise understanding of the results. Kim, Evangelista and Park (2015) painted a picture by stating relatively close to the beginning of the paper that “anxiety is a common emotion affecting patients on maintenance hemodialysis (p.339).” Researchers set out to find a way to make the life of patients a tad bit easier and less stressful while going through dialysis. Being sick is hard enough…

Plasma Membrane Lab The purpose of this lab was to learn about the permeability of plasma membranes. In this experiment, dialysis tubing was used to simulate the semipermeable plasma membrane of a caterpillar’s intestine. Cooked starch was prepared and mixed with the enzyme amylase to simulate the mixing of the caterpillar’s saliva with a starch/leaf and then placed in the dialysis tubing to simulate the beginning of the digestive process. The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into glucose and…

anemia. She has only dialyzed intermittently as an out-patient for a total of a month since admission almost three months ago. She has been hospitalized numerous times in that short duration.

Another stress is that renal dialysis is needed to prolong life after diagnosis of ESRD. Kidney transplant is also mentioned as a treatment option for Clarice condition, and her families can live with this for a long time. Also, a surgical implant of arteriosclerosis…

the normal mass of the kidneys. When this occurs, the cysts often reduce kidney function, which can lead to failure. In most cases, ADPKD takes several years before it causes the kidneys to fail. When this happens, the patient will require either dialysis or a kidney transplant. Around one half of all the people diagnosed with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic…
