function properly‚ they may need dialysis. (Ungar‚ 2012) Patients with renal failure experience a lot of imbalances while receiving dialysis. Electrolyte imbalances are the most common‚ usually presenting with hyperkalemia. This happens when the amount of calcium is more than the kidneys can excrete. Arrhythmias may also occur during dialysis. It too causes an imbalance of electrolytes or changes in acid-base homeostasis. Severe cramping‚ muscle spasms‚ and low blood pressure are some complications

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

Homeostatic Imbalances Homeostasis is the maintenance of relatively stable conditions within the body. This process‚ controlled through feedback systems‚ ensures that the body’s internal environment remains stable despite changes in the external environment. Feedback systems are composed of a receptor‚ a control center‚ and an effector. When one or more of the components do not function properly the body is placed in a state of homeostatic imbalance. This condition can range in severity‚ but
