用机器为肾脏衰竭的病人去除血液与腹膜里的有害物质。

DEFINITION

Adverb

To help patients with kidney failure remove harmful substances from the blood and peritoneum using a machine.

由来
  • 《南洋商报》早在1974年就使用了“洗肾”一词。
  • 肾脏衰竭主要由糖尿病与高血压引起。糖尿病患者由于血糖过高，肾脏在过滤血液时很容易操劳过度，久而变为不可逆转的损坏。高血压则会损坏肾脏的微血管，破坏肾脏的过滤功能。
  • 洗肾的传统治疗法主要分为血液透析 (俗称“洗血”，haemodialysis) 与腹膜透析(俗称“洗水”，peritoneal dialysis) 两种。
  • 全国肾脏基金会 (National Kidney Foundation) 在2019年推出新的治疗法——血液透析过滤 (haemodiafiltration)。这个基金会是在1969年由邱恩德医生 (Dr Khoo Oon Teik) 等人创立的。
ETYMOLOGY

  • The Mandarin term “洗肾” was used as early as 1974 in the Nanyang Siang Pau.
  • Kidney failure is mainly caused by diabetes and high blood pressure.High blood sugar in diabetic patients is likely to cause the kidneys to overwork when filtering blood, which can cause irreversible damage
    to the kidneys over time. High blood pressure, on the other hand, can damage the capillaries of the kidneys, affecting their ability to filter blood.
  • Conventional methods of dialysis can be divided into two main types: haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
  • The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) introduced a new form of dialysis in 2019 – haemodiafiltration. The NKF was founded in 1969 by Dr Khoo Oon Teik and others.
例句
血液透析则通过净化血液把有害物质排出体外，但患者须平均每周三天到洗肾中心洗肾，每次约四小时。(《联合早报》，18/6/2018)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
