India’s population is expected to be suffering from some form of undetected kidney disease‚ which can cause a total kidney failure that needs dialysis and transplantation. Only 9 per cent of the patients are able to obtain kidney transplant and pay for the treatment. As many people belong to the weaker socio-economic status it is difficult to undergo dialysis which costs around Rs. 1‚500 - Rs 2‚200 per session in private centre’s. It has to be done thrice every week which cost around Rs 25‚000 - Rs

Central Line‚ Adult A central line is a soft‚ flexible tube (catheter) that is used to give medicine or nutrition through a person’s veins. The tip of the central line ends in a large vein (vena cava) just above the person’s heart. Medicine given through the central line is quickly mixed with blood because the blood flow within this large vein is so great. This dilutes the medicine so it is swiftly delivered throughout the body. A central line may be placed because: You need medicine that

particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Because of the selective permeability of the membrane only water and other very small particles (iodine) can be diffused through simple diffusion. The solution out of the dialysis tubing had a higher distelled iodine concentration of solutes (iodine + H2O) than did the starch solution. So iodine move into the cell and react with starch molecules to formed starchiodine‚ the blue compound‚ with a specific rate. The test show

Urinary system Homeostasis Salt provides two elements that are essential for life and for good health - sodium and chloride ions. They are both elements that the body cannot manufacture itself so it must be supplied by food. Although salt is the most common dietary source for these essential elements‚ sodium also available from various foods that contain sodium naturally. Sodium is a mineral element that plays a critical role in body physiology. It controls the volume of fluid in the body and

higher bar than a determination that he or she is no longer worthy of healthcare prior to death”(646). In the medical community‚ the goal is to save lives. Appel also points out that even though kidney transplants do increase survival rates over dialysis‚ just because someone doesn’t get a transplant‚ this does not necessarily mean that they will die. He says that kidney transplants tend to be more of a life-enhancing surgery‚ as opposed to a life-extending surgery. On the argument that to give a
