Dialysis
When your kidneys are healthy, they clean your blood. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work your kidneys used to do. Unless you have a kidney transplant, you will need a treatment called dialysis.
There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Both types filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt and water. Hemodialysis does that with a machine. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneal membrane, to filter your blood. Each type has both risks and benefits. They also require that you follow a special diet. Your doctor can help you decide the best type of dialysis for you.

You know your a nurse when ...
you know your a nurse when . . . .
Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.
You have seen more penises than any prostitute
You would like to meet the inventor of the buzzer some night in a dark alley.
Your sense of humour gets more warped each year.
Almost everything can seem humorous......eventually.
You know the smell of different diarrhoea to identify it.
You can tell the pharmacist more about the medication they are dispensing than they know.
You check the caller id on your day off to see if anyone from the hospital is trying to call and ask you to work.
You've been telling stories in a restaurant and made someone at another table throw up.
You notice that you are using more 4 letter words than you did before you started nursing.
Every time someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you.
You live by the motto "to be right is only half the battle, to convince the doctor is more difficult".
You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your co-worker and to call if they need help.
you can almost SEE the germs on doorknobs and telephones.
you can watch the goriest movie and eat anything afterwards, even spaghetti with lots of tomato sauce
your favorite dream is the one where you leave a mess at a patient's bedside and tell a doctor to clean it up.
everyone, including complete strangers, tells you about each and every ache and pain they have.
you want to put your foot through the TV screen every time you see a nurse on a soap opera doing nothing but talking on the phone and flirting with doctors.
Your bladder can expand to the size of a Winnebago's water tank.
You find yourself checking out other customers veins in the grocery waiting lines.
You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers for fear they will drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off.

I'm a medical student writing a paper on the MDT approach to caring for a patient with renal failure paying particular attention to the role of the nurse as most patients I have spoken to feel that their nurses are the health care professionals that stand out most for them. Trouble is I am having great difficulty finding relevant literature-any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Keep up the good work, the patients are singing your praises!
Thank you,
Blaithin

hi!if there is a renal nurse on this site, can you give me some advice...i'll start from the begining.
my three yearn old son was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome 9 months ago, he was kept in hospital for a week and puton prednistonal (forgive the spelling, but im sure you know what drug in on about)
since coming off the steriods, he has had the odd 'relapse' but never too bad. maybe a day or 2 he would get a little puffy around the eyes, and teste positive for protien in his urine (++ usually) i would take him to the hospital, and after testing him and checking him out, they would tell me to take him home and get back in touch if it didnt clear up, but it always cleared up and everything wouold be fine.
well, yestarday, he was very lethargic, and getting puffy again. i tested his urine every time, and the results were:-
8.30am (+)
10.30am (+++)
noon (++)
1.40 (++)
7pm (+++)
11.10pm (+++)
3AM (++++)
7am (++++)
10am (+++)
i have a little girl who has nephrotic syndromexxx
