Albumiini on proteiini jolla on kaksi tärkeää toimintoa. Se vaikuttaa suhteellisen suurella määrällään siihen, että veressä oleva neste pysyy verenkierrossa eikä tunkeudu valtimon seinämiin ympäröivään kudokseen. Toisaalta, se on tärkeä kuljetusproteiini erilaisille aineille. Muun muassa monet lääkkeet, mutta myös vapaat rasvahapot ja hormoonit ovat sidottu albumiiniin ja kulkeutuvat veren mukana eri puolille kehoa.Tämän proteiinin taso antaa tietoa potilaan yleisestä ravitsemustilasta.
Original:
A protein that has two important functions. On the one hand, it contributes by its relatively large amount to the fact that the liquid contained in the blood remains in the bloodstream and does not penetrate the arterial walls into the surrounding tissue. On the other hand, it is an important transport protein for various substances. Among others, many drugs, but also free fatty acids and hormones are bound to albumin and are transported in the blood throughout the body. The level of this protein provides information on the general nutritional condition of a patient.
On tila, jossa veren hapenkuljetuskapasiteetti keuhkoista kudoksiin on heikentynyt. Syynä voi olla punasolujen tai hemoglobiinin vähyys tai niiden rakenteen poikkeavuus.
Original: Reduced oxygen transport capacity of the blood, measured as reduced hemoglobin content in the blood.
Aineet (esim. Hepariini), jotka estävät veren hyytymistä.
Original: Agents (e.g. heparin) that prevent blood coagulation.
Suora, kirurgisesti luotu yhteys valtimon (verisuoni, joka kuljettaa verta sydämestä kehoon) ja suonen (verisuoni, joka kuljettaa verta sydämmeen) välillä, potilaan käsivarressa. Tämä yhteys muodostaa suuren verisuonen, jolla on lisääntynyt verenkierto, jonka avulla voidaan toteuttaa hemodialyysihoito. Riittävä verisuonten saatavuus on hemodialyysihoidon edellytys.
Original: A direct surgically created connection between an artery (blood vessel carrying blood from the heart to the body) and a vein (blood vessel carrying blood to the heart) in the patient‘s forearm. This connection forms a large blood vessel with an increased blood flow, providing access for hemodialysis. Adequate vascular access is a prerequisite for hemodialysis.
5008 ja 6008 sarjan dialyysilaitteilla on AutoFlow toiminto. Tämä automaattisesti mukauttaa dialysaatin virtauksen tehokkaasti veren virtaukseen varmistaakseen, että vettä, energiaa ja konsentraattia käytetään tehokkaammin. Laitteilla on myös EcoFlow toiminto, joka minimoi dialysaatin ja energian käytön joka vaiheella paitsi itse hoidon aikana. Esimerkiksi valmistelun aikana, kun dialysaattori huuhdellaan dialysaatilla.
Original: The 5008 and 6008 series hemodialysis machines have an AutoFlow function. This automatically adapts the dialysate flow to the effective blood flow to ensure that water, energy and àdialysate are used more efficiently. The devices also have an EcoFlow function, which minimizes the use of dialysate and energy in all phases other than actual treatment, for example during preparation when the àdialyzer is rinsed with dialysate.
Machine-supported version of peritoneal dialysis treatment usually performed at night.
Device that can be used to precisely measure the composition of the human body and its fluid status and hence to determine the level of overhydration in dialysis patients.
Dry bicarbonate concentrate for online production of liquid bicarbonate concentrate used in bicarbonate hemodialysis with our hemodialysis machines of the 4008 and 5008 series ONLINEplus system.
Environmentally friendly material for producing foils, tubing and other components for peritoneal and acute dialysis. Biofine® is recyclable and PVC-free.
Fluid circulating in the body consisting of plasma and cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc.). The main function of blood is to transport oxygen, nutrients and hormones to the cells and to remove waste products (such as carbon dioxide and urea). Blood also regulates the water and electrolyte balance and helps fight off contaminantsas part of the immune system.
Blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen. They are produced by erythropoietin, a hormone formed in the kidneys.
Blood cells that defend the human body against infection. They are involved in allergic reactions and destroy damaged, old or dead cells in the body.
A complex process during which blood forms solid clots. It is an important part of hemostasis whereby a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a fibrin clot that stops hemorrhaging and helps repair the damaged vessel. Disorders in coagulation can lead to increased hemorrhaging and/or thrombosis and embolism. During dialysis treatment, blood coagulation is inhibited with anticoagulants such as heparin.
Tubing system connecting a patient‘s blood circulation with a dialyzer during the dialysis treatment.
An extension of the therapy options to more effectively influence the bone and mineral metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease. Calcimimetics are administered when the thyroid gland is hyperactive, as is often the case with dialysis patients. Calcimimetics also have a positive effect on the calcium level of the bones.
A flexible tube inserted by surgery through the skin into a blood vessel or cavity to transport fluid into or out of the body. In peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is used to infuse dialysis solution into the abdominal cavity and drain it out again. In hemodialysis, a catheter can be used as a vascular access for dialysis treatment. In this case, the catheter is usually inserted into the superior vena cava, or occasionally the femoral vein.
A treatment method where the dialysis solution is exchanged manually, generally four times a day.
