The dialysis machines . The dialysis machine is an apparatus through which the patient's blood. The blood leaves the body, usually an artery of the forearm, and returns through a vein in the same region. Inside the machine, before returning to the body, the blood passes through some partially permeable membranes that separate an aqueous dialysis liquid containing sugar and salts diluted similar to those found in blood concentrations. The soluble constituents of blood in excess of normal concentrations diffuse through the membrane and join the dialysis liquid. Thus, residues that accumulate in the body such as urea, are extracted. Blood cells and proteins remain in the blood. This process is called renal dialysis .
When the kidneys fail to perform its function, filter and remove toxic substances from the body dialysis is indicated. People who are 50% or more of that preserved renal function do not need this treatment and can lead a normal life. According to the nephrologist and president of Pro-Kidney Foundation of Light Hercilio, patients with chronic kidney problems and low kidney function must perform treatment otherwise have little chance of survival.
Hercilio explains that approximately 60% of renal problems occur due to diabetes and hypertension. However, other renal diseases may cause problems.
The dialysis solution containing solutes (Na, K, bicarbonate, Ca, Mg, Cl, acetate, glucose, pCO 2) that will come into equilibrium with the blood during the dialysis process, thereby maintaining the blood concentration of these solutes within normal limits.
Importantly, the water used for dialysis should be treated and their quality monitored regularly. The presence of organic (bacteria) and inorganic compounds (Al, fluorine, chloramine, etc.) may cause symptoms during hemodialysis or induce significant metabolic changes.
The hemodialysis machine maintains complete control of the dialysate as temperature and conductivity level of the solution in order to avoid possible complications during treatment.
A passenger who depends upon a Portable Dialysis Machine (PDM) can carry such a machine, as well as its auxiliary equipment free of charge. However, the use of these machines is not allowed during flight. If the PDM is according to our dimensions of hand luggage (55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm) can be carried on board and will not be included in the limit of hand luggage. However, if the PDM has higher dimensions, must be properly packaged and transported in the hold of the aircraft, but will not be included in the limit of baggage.
It is necessary that the Portable Dialysis Machines are non-spillable and the outer casing is marked "NOT LIKELY TO SPILL" or "BATTERY IS LIKELY NOT SPILL." If a battery is not identified as likely to spill, crew members will consider that the battery is likely to spill and may not accept the transport of PDM.
