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 filtering blood plasma with two filters, for people with serious illnesses such as high blood lipids with high risk of blood vessel blockage, multiple myeloma, 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 the patient must be examined carefully.

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, there are many components in blood, 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 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 in the 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 High Pressure 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 index, drug treatment does not improve, forcing blood filtration to bring blood index back to normal level. Or patients with high blood index accompanied by pancreatitis.
