There is an alternative method besides hemodialysis that can be used in the dialysis process. The name is CAPD. In this method, the hose is not installed in the arm, but in the abdominal cavity. The kidneys function to filter out residual substances in the blood and dispose of them through urine. When the kidneys fail to function, residual substances will accumulate in the body and cause harmful effects. So that this does not happen, patients with kidney failure need help to filter waste substances from the blood. This screening process is called dialysis. Dialysis can be done by two methods, namely hemodialysis (dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis). The second method is what is called CAPD. How it Works CAPD CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) begins with the making of a small hole near the patient's navel by the surgeon. This small hole is used to insert a tube (catheter) into the abdominal cavity (peritoneal cavity). The catheter will be left in the ab
Infected amniotic fluid is a serious condition that can have a devastating effect on both the fetus and the pregnant woman herself. To be aware of this condition, pregnant women need to know the cause and recognize the symptoms that arise due to infected amniotic fluid. Chorioamnionitis is a medical term used to describe infections in the amniotic fluid and placenta during pregnancy. This infection can occur in 2-4% of pregnancies. Causes of Infected Amniotic Water Infection in the amniotic fluid occurs when bacteria in the vagina, such as E. coli and Streptococcus, enter the uterus. This is more vulnerable if: Premature rupture of membranes that occurs long before labor arrives. Duration of labor is long. Vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, or sexually transmitted infections in pregnant women. Epidural anesthesia during labor. Vaginal examination that is too often during childbirth. In addition, pregnant women are also more at risk of getting amniotic infections
