Every day, a healthy individual’s kidneys filter around 120 to 150 quarts of blood. If a person’s kidneys are not working efficiently, the waste gets accumulated in the blood. This may lead to coma and later death. Dialysis avoids the formation of waste products and toxins in the blood.
Dialysis machines are artificial kidneys used to filter patients’ blood during kidney damage, kidney dysfunction, kidney failure, and to remove excess impurities from kidneys. Dialysis machines use hemodialysis to purify the blood and balance the constituents. In this course, the patient’s blood is distributed through the machine which is filtered and well-adjusted for pH electrolytes and fluid concentration before sending it back to the patient’s body. Dialysis machines have extensive applications such as directing medical help to patients suffering from renal diseases.
Segmentation
The global kidney dialysis equipment market has been segmented on the basis of type, apparatus type, and end-user.
On the basis of type, the market has been classified as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT). Hemodialysis is segmented into conventional hemodialysis, short daily hemodialysis, and nocturnal hemodialysis. The peritoneal dialysis is segmented into Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD), Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD), and Tidal Peritoneal Dialysis (TPD).
On the basis of apparatus type, the market has been classified into hemodialysis equipment, peritoneal dialysis equipment, and consumables and continuous renal replacement therapy systems. The hemodialysis equipment segment is categorized into hemodialysis machines, dialyzers and filters, bloodline systems, concentrates and solutions, tunneled hemodialysis catheters, and vascular access devices. The peritoneal dialysis equipment segment is categorized into concentrates and solutions, automated peritoneal dialysis machines, dialyzers, and filters.
On the basis of end-user, the market has been classified into hospitals, clinics, in-center dialysis settings, home care, and ambulatory services.
