Can dialysis prevent stroke?

According to Dr. Doan Du Manh, a member of the Vietnam Vascular Association, information that blood filtration can prevent stroke, atherosclerosis, fatty liver, and weight loss has no scientific basis.

Technically, hemodialysis is a method of plasma filtration with two filters, for seriously ill people such as those with high blood lipid levels at risk of blood vessel occlusion, multiple myeloma, and is not a method of disease prevention.

In fact, this is a specialized technique that requires high conditions to be performed. Doctors also prescribe it very carefully because it can lead to complications, and patients must be carefully examined.

If you abuse dialysis to prevent stroke, there are risks such as sudden cardiovascular collapse, blood infection, anaphylactic shock, blood clotting disorders, and life-threatening. Dialysis is also contraindicated for people with high blood pressure and blood clotting disorders.

Not to mention, blood has many components, including white blood cells, platelets, some lipids, other immune substances, including blood fat, which also includes two types: good fat and bad fat. If you filter all the substances in the blood, you may accidentally filter out good substances, affecting your health, such as good fats that also have the function of increasing collagen for blood vessel walls, which is good for the brain. In general, people should not listen to baseless advertisements to avoid losing money and getting sick.

Doctor Nguyen Huy Hoang, Vietnam - Russia Hyperbaric Oxygen Center ( Ministry of Defense ) said that he himself had been told by patients about blood filtration to remove bad blood and prevent diseases.

Blood filtration is a method often prescribed for patients with very high blood lipid levels, who do not improve with drug treatment, and require blood filtration to bring blood levels back to normal. Or patients with high blood levels accompanied by pancreatitis.
