MCQ on Dialysis

In this article, we will learn about some important MCQs on Dialysis which may be necessary for competitive exams.

Dialysis is a chemical process for modifying the size and matrix of molecules in a sample by differentiating the sizes of molecules present in a solution. During the dialysis procedure, equilibrium is achieved between the solution and the celluloid because only tiny molecules can pass through the dialysis tube or membrane. The dialysis chemical separation is also used in the salt removal procedure.

Osmosis helps dialysis run smoothly by making it simpler for the fluid to pass through the dialysis tube or semipermeable membrane when it moves from a high to a low water content.

Q1. Which of the following mineral should be consumed in limited quantities by those undertaking Dialysis is

  1. Mo
  2. Fe
  3. Zn
  4. K

Ans. The correct answer is K.

Potassium levels can rise as a result of dialysis. As a result, this mineral should be consumed in moderation.

Because of its involvement in regulating intracellular fluid content and transmembrane electrochemical gradients, potassium is found in all bodily tissues and is essential for appropriate cell function.

Q2. Aside from conventional use, Dialysis may also use in the scenarios of

  1. Blood Transfusions
  2. Acute Poisoning
  3. Extreme Fever
  4. None of these

Ans. Acute Poisoning is the correct answer.

When someone is suspected of suffering from severe poisoning, they may be forced to undergo dialysis. The body will recognise poison as a toxin, and it will be eliminated naturally by the kidneys and liver, causing harm to these organs. As a result, the blood is drained and delivered to the dialysis machine to limit any harm to the organs and tissues.

Q3. Which of the following can be the side effect of the Haemodialysis?

  1. Nausea
  2. Cramps
  3. Weakness
  4. All of the above

Ans. All of the above is the correct answer.

There are many side effects of Haemodialysis such as Nausea, Cramps, Weakness, anxiety, blurred vision and more. Haemodialysis aids in the control of blood pressure and the balance of essential minerals in the blood, like sodium, potassium, and calcium.

Q4. Which of the following is the access for the treatment which is used in the Peritoneal Dialysis?

  1. Graft
  2. Catheter
  3. Dialysis Machine
  4. Fistula

Ans. Catheter is the correct answer. 

Peritoneal dialysis can only be done with the Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter. A PD catheter is a thin, flexible, tube of the size of a straw which is surgically implanted in your lower belly. When not in use, a tiny portion of tubing is left outside the body and can be covered.

Q5. How many types of dialysis are there?

  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 6
  4. 4

Ans. 2 is the correct answer.

Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the two types of dialysis which are used.  The most prevalent type of dialysis is haemodialysis. Blood is taken from your body into the dialyser during this dialysis. A dialyser removes all pollutants from your blood before pumping it back into your body. Peritoneal dialysis involves inserting a catheter in the abdominal wall, in which the peritoneum, a membrane which surrounds the abdominal organs, transports any waste compounds present in the blood.

Q6. Which of the following is the main principle of Dialysis?

  1. Capillary action
  2. Reverse – Osmosis
  3. Adhesion
  4. None of the above

Ans. Reverse – Osmosis is the correct answer. 

Reverse – Osmosis is the main principle of Dialysis.

Pressure is provided to overcome a colligative property and osmotic pressure that is driven by the thermodynamic parameter & the chemical difference in a solvent in reverse osmosis.

Q7. The Immunosuppressant drugs can be consumed with

  1. Major Viruses
  2. Kidney Transplant
  3. Peritoneal Dialysis
  4. None of the above

Ans. Kidney Transplant is the correct answer.

Q8. The area near the gut according to the kidney dialysis is termed as

  1. Renal Cavity
  2. Vertebral Cavity
  3. Peritoneal Cavity
  4. None of these

Ans. Peritoneal Cavity is the correct answer.

The peritoneal cavity is a possible space between the peritoneum’s parietal and visceral layers. A tiny amount of serous peritoneal fluid is secreted by the mesothelial cells that border the peritoneum, which fills the cavity.

Q9. What is the composition of the membrane that is used in Dialysis?

  1. Polyvinyl Chloride
  2. Polyethylene
  3. Cellulose
  4. None of the above

Ans. Cellulose is the correct answer.

Cellulose is a readily available substance that is harmless to the blood and body. It is inexpensive, and its strength may be enhanced with some manipulation. It has an excellent pore size, which is small enough to halt blood cells but large enough to allow waste materials to flow through.

Q10. Which of the following parts work as a kidney in Dialysis?

  1. Haemolyser
  2. Nephrolyser
  3. Dialyser
  4. None of these

Ans. Dialyser is the correct answer.

The term “artificial kidney” is frequently used to describe a dialyzer. Its purpose is to eliminate excessive wastes & fluid from the bloodstream when the patient’s kidneys are unable to do so. Dialysers are formed from a fibrous, thin substance. Smaller particles & liquids can pass through the semipermeable membrane formed by the fibres.

Q11. Which of the following is the correct definition for the Dialysis?

  1. The Stomach is Implanted.
  2. The Waste materials are removed.
  3. Substituent of the liver enzymes.
  4. None of the above

Ans. The Waste materials are removed is the correct answer.

When the kidneys cease working properly, dialysis is used to eliminate the waste products & excess fluid from the blood. It frequently entails transferring blood to the machine for cleaning.

Q12. Which type of Dialysis can be performed at home?

  1. Haemodialysis
  2. Peritoneal Dialysis
  3. Perfusion
  4. None of these

Ans. Peritoneal Dialysis is the correct answer.

The diaphragm is being used to conduct dialysis in peritoneal dialysis. The electrolyte can be injected into the body through a cannula. The electrolytes can linger in the body for up to six hours, during which time the blood vessels of a person and diaphragm operate as filtering membranes, removing undesired substances such as creatinine and urea. The cannula’s stopper is then opened once more, allowing the electrolyte to flow out.
