Abstract:
In the early days of dialysis, the practitioner was required to use whatever componentry that was available in order to construct dialysis equipment. Sausage casing, industrial pumps, and other nonmedical components were used to construct the crude dialysis devices. As time passed, industry began to take an interest in this unique medical treatment and developed systems that were especially designed for dialysis. The collaboration of medicine and industry was critical in the development of dialysis as we know it today.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
