++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assalamualaikum
and good morning to my lecturer ................ and my beloved classmates. On this
glorious morning, I .............. am going to give a talk entitles
“What is dialysis”. In my speech, I am going to share with you more about what
patients must face if they need to go for a dialysis treatment.
Before that, I am going to explain to all of you about what
is dialysis. Dialysis is a procedure that is a substitute for many of the
normal functions of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for filtering
waste products from the blood. When kidney function decreases to a critical
level or complications aries, a person may need to start dialysis. The two main
causes of kidney failure and need for dialysis treatment are diabetes and high
blood pressure.
There are two main types of dialysis, First hemodialysis
and the second is peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis uses an external machine
and a special type of filter to remove excess waste products and water from the
blood. Other than that, Peritoneal dialysis uses a fluid that id placed into
the patients abdominal cavity through a plastic tube to remove excess waste
products and fluid from the body. Regardless of which types of dialysis is
chosen, patients have certain responsibilities such as following a diet
program, watching their fluid intake, taking special vitamins, and other
medicines to control blood pressure and calcium also phosphorus balance.
Somehow, the patients need to follow the rules along their
dialysis process. People receiving haemodialysis are at increased risk of
developing sepsis (blood poisoning). This is where bacteria enter the body and
spread through the blood, potentially leading to multiple organ failure. Even
though during haemodialysis, some people experience muscle cramps, usually in
their lower legs. This is thought to be caused by the muscles reacting to the
fluid loss that occurs during haemodialysis. Besides many people receiving
haemodialysis experience itchy skin, caused by a build-up of minerals in the
body between dialysis sessions. Tell your care team if your skin becomes very
itchy. They may recommend creams to soothe and moisturise your skin.
A common side effect of peritoneal dialysis is bacterial
infection of the peritoneum. Peritonitis can occur if the dialysis equipment
isn't kept clean. If there are bacteria on the equipment, they can spread to
the peritoneum, the thin layer of tissue that lines the inside of the abdomen.
The most effective way to prevent peritonitis is to keep your dialysis
equipment clean. You'll be given training in how to do this. In addition people
receiving peritoneal dialysis are at increased risk of developing a hernia. Surgery
is usually needed to repair a hernia. During surgery, the surgeon will place
the protruding tissue back inside your abdominal wall. If you don't compensate
for these extra calories by reducing the amount of calories you eat and taking
regular exercise, it's likely you'll gain weight. Avoid following fad diets
that claim to be able to help you lose a lot of weight quickly. This type of
extreme dieting could upset your body's chemistry and make you feel very ill.
I hope you found something about dialysis from what I have
share with you. I choose this topic as to remind us all, including myself what
how important for us to take care of our health. I have seen my own father who
has to go for dialysis treatment for 3 days in a week. It is a difficult time
for him and I don’t want to suffer like him. That is all from me. Take care of
your health. Thank you.
