HAEMODIALYSIS FOR CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disorder of kidney function that leads to a decrease in their ability to filter waste and regulate water and electrolyte balance, which may result in the need for replacement therapy. One of the most common treatments for late-stage CKD is haemodialysis, a procedure used to remove toxins, excess fluid and restore electrolyte balance in patients with renal failure. This article discusses the indications for haemodialysis, modern approaches to haemodialysis in chronic kidney disease, the pathophysiology of CKD, and the main advantages and disadvantages of haemodialysis as a method of replacement therapy in the terminal stage of the disease.
