Solution

The correct option is C Haemodialysis

  • Hemodialysis is used for people with a critical kidney disorder and uraemia.
  • Kidney/renal failure may occur from a physical injury or a disease like diabetes, high blood pressure, or other disorders.
  • An elevated level of urea and other nitrogenous waste compounds in the blood is characteristic of uremia.
  • In any of the conditions where the kidneys are not functioning properly, waste starts accumulating in the blood. This results in coma and even death.
  • To cure this, the patient is subjected to dialysis. Dialysis maintains the body balance in the following ways:

  1. It controls blood pressure.
  2. It removes excess water and metabolic wastes from the body.
  3. Prevents chemicals such as potassium, bicarbonate and sodium from reaching hazardous levels.
  • This treatment may continue for months or years since most kidney failures are irreversible.
So the correct option is 'Haemodialysis'.
