explored are dialysis and gel filtration chromatography. In the remaining two experimental procedures‚ colorimetric assays will be used to detect the presence of certain carbohydrates. Glucose oxidase and Iodine Reactions will be performed in conjunction to demonstrate the procedure of such assays.

Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We tied off one end of the dialysis tubing to create a bag‚ filled it with distilled water‚ and tie of other end to close. The bag is carefully blotted to remove any water spilled during the filling and

artificial kidney that could save many lives. However‚ this amazing breakthrough led to issue: the scarcity of these machines. Because there was very few of them available to patients‚ doctors had to come up with a way to decide which patients got dialysis and which didn’t. The best option was “The God Committee”‚ created by the Swedish Hospital‚ Scribner‚ and King’s County Medical Society to

which inevitably reduce a patient’s quality of life (Finkelstein‚ Wuerth & Finkelstein‚ 2009). Haemodialysis‚ a renal replacement therapy (RRT) used to manage ESRD‚ depends upon two core processes: the removal of waste in the blood through dialysis and the restriction of nutrients and fluid (Denhaerynck et al‚ 2007). Patient adherence to the regimen is thus

adequate dialysis treatment‚ proper nutrition‚ and use of arterial venous fistula (AVF) in place of HD catheters are associated with patients’ decreased mortality rate among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis (HD). Improving overall health of ESRD patients is largely dependent on individual patients themselves‚ but as nurses it is our responsibility to promote and educate patients to take charge of their own life. In the acute setting‚ the large populations of dialysis patients
