Dialysis Method
Online HDF
Online Hemodiafiltration (Online HDF) dialysis is a highly efficient dialysis technology, developed from 2 processes: Diffusion and Convection. This technology can remove waste, small and large molecule while conventional dialysis cannot. A high-efficiency filters and ultrapure water purifier systems have been used to reduce infection and complication rates. Resulting in a better life and live longer.
Online HDF dialysis is an added method of convection to eliminate waste. Which uses water as a medium to remove waste from the body. The pressure pushes the water out of the blood, which containing waste. Then purified water and mineral are necessary to replace what have been removed from the body throughout the session, to maintain patient condition in a normal stage.
Advantages of Online HDF
Online HDF
Reduce patient death rate compare to conventional hemodialysis. Reduce hypotension during dialysis. Remove waste such as phosphorus better. Make bones stronger. Reduce itching on the skin and reduce complications from hyperphosphatemia. Reduce anemia. Reduce erythropoietin injection. Reduce inflammation of the body than conventional hemodialysis. Improving health condition and quality of life. Skin becomes brighter and spotless.
Disadvantages of Online HDF
Online HDF
A new and advance hemodialysis machine is required for the safety of treatment, which resulting in a higher service fee. Experienced nurse and staff must have a knowledge of hemodialysis machine and water purifier system. Requires close monitoring of water quality.
Conventional hemodialysis machine
Normal
A standard method used in general chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with balanced blood circulation condition. It is a method of removing wastes based on the principle of filtration (diffusion) and convection, to exchange wastes between blood and hemodialysis solution. The outcome of the treatment depends on the amount of waste removed, the patient's commitment on scheduled session, and proper dietary on food and water. The doctor will choosing the right size and the right type of dialyzer. Optimizing blood tubing and adjust the treatment procedure to ensure that the patient receives adequate dialysis.
