Diploma in Dialysis Technology
In a healthy human body, kidneys are responsible for purifying the blood. As long as the kidneys perform this task well, there is no need for a patient to use dialysis treatment.
Due to reasons such as kidney failure and certain medical conditions (damaged kidneys and other diseases), kidneys become unable to carry out this purification process. This is when the dialysis process comes in handy!
When natural purification of blood (by kidneys) stops, it becomes necessary to intervene and perform artificial purification.
Definition
Dialysis technology is a highly specialized field of nephrology (care of the kidneys ). In clinical practice settings, dialysis technologists provide dialysis treatment under the supervision of a physician or registered nurse. The dialysis technologist is responsible for all medical devices and equipment involved in renal replacement therapies, such as reprocessing and water treatment equipment. Along with patient care and equipment operation, maintenance, and repair, dialysis technologists act to ensure regulatory compliance.
