One of the biggest advancements in kidney dialysis technology is the transformation of traditional dialysis machines into ...

The dialysis fluid is introduced into and removed from the peritoneal cavity, and the peritoneum is used as the dialysis membrane.

Inside the machine the blood and dialysis fluid are separated by a partially permeable membrane the blood flows in the opposite direction to dialysis fluid, allowing exchange to occur between the ...

Inside the machine the blood and dialysis fluid are separated by a partially permeable membrane the blood flows in the opposite direction to dialysis fluid, allowing a concentration gradient to ...

In line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s assurance of continuous expansion in healthcare benefits despite zero subsidy, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has substantially ...
