The present standard of the medical field to virtual cross matching to reduced the time of transplantation and also keep awaiting identification of suitable and improved scheduling for  surgeons . The immune system of the organ donor and an intended compatibility as blood donor, the main important role plays the blood while transplantation. Therefore the virtual transplantation of the kidney applies the recipients serum of the micro beads that detects signals process which does not reveal donor and receiver an actual reaction between donor and receiver can specialized to anti-react bodies can may also react The process of this reaction forecast the death of the patient. Whenever the physical mismatch of the donor and receiver may causes the side...

Did you know about the Renal replacement therapy?

Image
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is the therapy that follows normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used once the kidneys don't seem to be operating well that is termed as renal failure and it includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement medical aid includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration that measure numerous ways of filtration of blood with or with not machines. Renal replacement medical aid conjointly includes kidney transplantation, which is the final variety of replacement in this; the previous kidney is replaced by a donor kidney. Renal replacement therapy is indicated, when the kidney briefly or persistently loses its function to remove toxins, metabolites , and water from the body. It is also used in some specific cases of poisoning/overdose when the kidney cannot clear the toxin fast enough. There are three main modalities used to replace the renal function: dialysis (eith...

What is Artificial Kidney made off?

Image
Artificial kidney is made up of a semi-permeable membrane which allows only selected particles to pass through. This semi-permeable membrane filters out the waste materials and excess water from the blood. Every dialyzer /artificial kidney has 2 compartments, in one compartment blood flows whereas in other compartment electrolyte solution flows which we call as “Dialysate”. The semi-permeable membrane keeps the 2 compartments apart. The membrane and the compartments are housed in a cylindrical plastic case which holds the artificial kidney together and forms pathways for blood and dialysate to flow in and out. How does Artificial Kidney work? During dialysis treatment, the patient’s bl ood with a high level of water and waste materials flows through the blood compartment. Dialysate an electrolyte solution flows through the dialysate compartment on the other side of the membrane.
