Every living thing has the capacity to absorb food, digest it within your body and eliminate the waste products. Many people make the mistake of taking these capabilities for taken for granted. Being aware of bodily functions such as urinating and defecating doesn’t require any type of conscious thought apart from responding to the need to eliminate waste. Apart from the normal problems of everyday life eliminating waste, the process can be impeded due to certain diseases or treatments that create obstructions. Anuria, also known as the inability to urinate is a sign of kidney disease, which is irreparable that causes your body to cease producing urine. Patients and their family members are negatively affected by the diagnosis due to therapy being difficult, long-lasting and, in most cases, long-lasting. Patients as well as their family members have to adjust their lives and adapt to living with the disease in a different way. Many patients choose hemodialysis over other therapies due to its efficacy. Hemodialysis helps remove excess liquid and waste from the body, however it can’t bring back normal kidney function and thus cannot treat the chronic kidney disease. Most treatment plans include three weekly sessions that last up to 4 hours each.
