5.4.3 Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation

• The kidneys excrete waste materials as urine
• The kidneys reabsorb glucose from the blood.


  True
• The kidneys regulate pH levels, fluid balance, and electrolyte concentrations
• Water is reabsorbed during the reabsorption process in the kidneys.


  True
• Steps of how the kidneys maintain homeostasis:

  1️⃣ Filtering waste from the blood

  2️⃣ Reabsorbing useful substances back into the blood

  3️⃣ Excreting waste materials as urine
• Match the type of dialysis with its description:

  Hemodialysis ↔️ Blood is filtered outside the body using a dialysis machine

  Peritoneal Dialysis ↔️ The peritoneum acts as a natural filter
• What type of vein is typically used to extract blood during hemodialysis?

  Arm or leg
• What is the primary role of the kidneys in maintaining homeostasis?

  Maintain blood composition
• What useful substances do the kidneys reabsorb back into the bloodstream?

  Glucose and amino acids
• Match the kidney process with its description:

  Filtering ↔️ Removes waste from blood

  Reabsorbing ↔️ Returns useful substances to blood

  Excreting ↔️ Eliminates waste as urine
• The kidneys maintain homeostasis by balancing filtering, reabsorbing, and excreting processes.

  True
• In hemodialysis, blood is filtered outside the body using a dialysis machine
• The main difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is the use of an external machine versus the peritoneal membrane as a filter.


  True
• In peritoneal dialysis, waste products move across the peritoneal membrane into the dialysis solution
• How does dialysis help maintain homeostasis in kidney failure?

  Compensates for kidney dysfunction
• What is the primary goal of kidney transplantation?

  Replace a failing kidney
• What is the primary goal of kidney transplantation?

  Restore kidney function
• Kidney transplantation eliminates the need for long-term dialysis in most cases.


  True
• What is the primary function of the kidneys?

  Maintain homeostasis
• The kidneys filter waste products and excess water from the blood.


  True
• The kidneys excrete waste materials as urine
• What is the purpose of dialysis?

  Filter and purify blood
• Order the steps involved in hemodialysis:

  1️⃣ Blood extraction

  2️⃣ Filtration in dialysis machine

  3️⃣ Return of cleaned blood
• Match the type of dialysis with its key characteristics:

  Hemodialysis ↔️ Requires machine access

  Peritoneal Dialysis ↔️ Uses abdominal cavity
• Steps involved in hemodialysis

  1️⃣ Blood extraction

  2️⃣ Blood filtration

  3️⃣ Blood return
• Steps involved in peritoneal dialysis

  1️⃣ Access port insertion

  2️⃣ Solution infusion

  3️⃣ Diffusion and osmosis

  4️⃣ Dwell time

  5️⃣ Solution drainage
• Dialysis maintains homeostasis by filtering waste products and regulating fluid balance
• What are the three main functions of the kidneys?

  Filtering, reabsorption, excretion
• What three factors do the kidneys regulate to maintain homeostasis?

  pH levels, fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations
• Match the process with its description:

  Filtering ↔️ Removes waste from blood

  Reabsorbing ↔️ Returns useful substances to blood

  Excreting ↔️ Eliminates waste as urine
• What is filtered from the blood during the filtering process in the kidneys?

  Waste products and excess water
• How do the kidneys maintain homeostasis in blood composition?

  Filtering, reabsorbing, excreting
• What is dialysis used for?

  Filters and purifies blood
• In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneum acts as a natural filter.
• Steps involved in hemodialysis:

  1️⃣ Blood is extracted from the body

  2️⃣ Blood passes through a dialysis membrane

  3️⃣ Waste and excess water are filtered out

  4️⃣ Filtered blood is returned to the body
• The kidneys filter waste products and excess water from the blood
• The kidneys excrete waste materials as urine to regulate fluid balance and electrolyte concentrations.


  True
• Steps in maintaining homeostasis by the kidneys:

  1️⃣ Filtering blood

  2️⃣ Reabsorbing useful substances

  3️⃣ Excreting waste as urine
• What is the purpose of dialysis when the kidneys fail?

  Filter and purify blood
• What acts as a natural filter in peritoneal dialysis?

  Peritoneum
