The result is a fast and irregular heart rhythm. The heart rate in atrial fibrillation may range from 100 to 175 beats a minute. The normal range for a heart rate is 60 to 100 beats a minute. Abnormalities or damage to the heart's structure are the most common cause of atrial fibrillation.
(Beyond the Basics).) Dialysis is typically needed when approximately 90 percent or more of kidney function is lost. Kidney function can be lost rapidly (acute renal failure or acute kidney injury) or over months or years (chronic kidney disease).
When chronic kidney disease progresses to end stage renal disease (stage 5 kidney disease), patients will need dialysis to help clear the blood of toxins and fluid usually processed by the kidneys.The two main dialysis modalities are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.emodialysis involves using a machine that circulates your blood through a filter to help remove fluid and waste. Hemodialysis is most frequently done in a dialysis unit three times a week for three to four hours each time. Dialysis staff will monitor your dialysis while you are on the machine.
