Q & A

What is hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used for patients with kidney failure. It involves filtering the blood through a machine to remove excess fluids and waste products, which the kidneys are no longer able to filter effectively.

Why is hemodialysis necessary?

Hemodialysis is necessary for patients whose kidneys are not functioning optimally or have failed. It acts as a substitute for the kidneys, performing the blood filtering role that the kidneys can no longer do.

How does hemodialysis work?

Hemodialysis works by removing blood from the body, passing it through a machine where it is filtered, and then returning the cleansed blood to the body. The process helps eliminate excess fluids and waste that the kidneys normally process.

What equipment is used during hemodialysis?

A double lumen catheter is used to access the blood vessels during hemodialysis. The blood is drawn out of the body, filtered through a dialysis machine, and then returned to the body.

How much blood is removed during hemodialysis?

During hemodialysis, only about 150-200 cc of blood is outside the body at any given time. The rest remains in the body as it undergoes the filtration process.

Is hemodialysis a permanent solution for kidney failure?

No, hemodialysis is not a permanent solution. It is a treatment to replace the kidney's function temporarily. It doesn't cure kidney failure but helps manage the symptoms and keep the patient stable.

How is hemodialysis administered at Rumah Sakit Premier Jatinegara?

At Rumah Sakit Premier Jatinegara, patients may undergo hemodialysis either in the emergency room for acute cases or in a regular dialysis room for scheduled treatments. A specialist evaluates each patient's condition before treatment.

What happens if a patient is in an acute condition and requires hemodialysis?

If a patient is in an acute condition and needs hemodialysis, they are immediately treated in the emergency room. Depending on their condition, they may be transferred to the intensive care unit or undergo treatment in a regular hemodialysis room.

Can patients continue hemodialysis at home?

Once a patient's condition stabilizes, they can continue hemodialysis on a scheduled basis, either at the hospital or, in some cases, at home if the appropriate equipment and monitoring are in place.

How many sessions of hemodialysis does it typically take for a patient to feel stable?

Typically, after 2-3 sessions of hemodialysis, a patient can begin to feel stable and may be able to go home, with ongoing treatments scheduled as needed.
