Medical dialysis is a treatment that artificially performs the blood-filtering functions of the kidneys when they can no longer do so adequately, removing waste products, excess fluid, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. The two principal forms are haemodialysis, in which blood is circulated through a machine and a semipermeable membrane filter before being returned to the body, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen as a natural filtering membrane. Dialysis is the mainstay of treatment for kidney failure, sustaining patients with end-stage renal disease or supporting recovery in acute kidney injury, often alongside management of associated complications such as fluid overload, anaemia, and cardiovascular risk. Within this journal's nephrology scope, related research includes a study using bedside lung ultrasound to assess volume status in chronic haemodialysis patients, addressing the management of fluid balance in dialysis care, and an evaluation of the relationship between advanced oxidation end products and inflammatory markers in maintenance haemodialysis patients, which examines oxidative stress and inflammation in people receiving long-term dialysis. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to medical dialysis and the care of patients with impaired kidney function.
