Needs major rewriting
[edit]Needs major rewriting so it sounds more professional. Alex.tan 06:12, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I have done some rewriting and editing, but IANARF (I am not a Renal Physician, and therefore unqualified :). In my view, this copyvio-like stepwise list of a dialysis session still needs to be rewritten, but I utterly lack the drive to wade through this waffle. JFW | T@lk 18:09, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I like the current version much better than what I wrote. I will take the blame for the original (unprofessional) stepwise list - but then, I'm not a professional! :-) I did think the article needed a little more than a dry dictionary definition "Dialysis is the process of filtering blood..." and a little more about practically how dialysis happens. No doubt it can be improved further. I was suprised to see even small remanants of my original text left! I'd like to add a list of vascular access methods, as well as a list of nominal dialysis prescriptions by nation - it varies widely, as I understand. :KBrown 16:51, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Duplicates?
[edit]What's the difference between this and Hemodialysis? The pages do not refer to each other, and to a layperson, they seem to be taking about the same thing! 2A02:8440:B132:22DA:0:3E:A986:8801 (talk) 10:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hemodialysis is a particular type of (kidney) dialysis. It is discussed (and linked to) in this article, along with other types of dialysis, though admittedly it is buried a bit deep Pabnau (talk) 23:21, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
