Question

Which three statements about dialysis are true?

A-It’s a time-consuming procedure.
B-It requires the patient to be on antirejection medication.
C-It uses a machine to purify blood.
D-It’s a temporary remedy for renal failure.
E-It requires matching the patient’s blood with that of the donor.

Answer 1

Dialysis can be defined as the treatment to maintain the chemical levels in the body salt. Dialysis removes the extra water, salt and waste from the bodies of the patients whose kidneys are unable to perform their function properly. The dialysis is a temporary solution for the renal failure before a transplantation is done. The process of dialysis is time-consuming as it takes several hours to completely purify the blood.

Hence, the correct statements about dialysis are 'A, C, D'.

Answer 2

Dialysis is the process of artificially removing excess water, solutes and toxins from the blood in those whose native kidneys have lost the ability to perform those functions. A, C, and D are true.
