Acceptance of patients in Omid Dialysis Department
Admission in this section is divided into five categories based on the way of introduction: chronic outpatients, introduction from doctor's office, introduction from the emergency room, introduction from hospital departments, and introduction from the other medical centers. The hemodialysis department is an outpatient department and the patients of it are only patients with kidney failure who need hemodialysis. The majority of patients are in the final stage of chronic kidney failure, but patients with acute kidney failure may also need dialysis, and there is a possibility that the kidney condition will improve to normal in these patients. Common diseases of dialysis department include: Acute kidney failure, Chronic kidney failure.
Simply put, the mechanism of hemodialysis is based on the fact that the patient's blood passes through the semi-permeable tubes and the dialyzable substances (poisons with low molecular weight) enter the dialysis solution from the blood, and sometimes, conversely, essential substances enter the blood from the dialysis solution. After exchange, it returns to the patient's body.
