Which is a better course among B.Sc in MLT and B.Sc in renal replacement and dialysis technology?

There is no comparison of B.Sc. In MLT and B.Sc. In renal replacement and dialysis technology. B.Sc. MLT- The programme AIMS to provide efficient and balanced training in laboratory medicine. Students receive a stimulating, challenging and supportive academic experience alongside a fulfilling and enjoyable social life. B.Sc. In renal replacement and dialysis- In a healthy human body, kidneys are responsible for purifying the blood. As long as kidneys perform this task well, there is no need for a patient to use dialysis treatment. Due to reasons such as kidney failure and certain medical conditions (damaged kidneys and other diseases), kidneys become unable to carry out this purification process. This is when dialysis process comes handy! When natural purification of blood (by kidneys) stops, it becomes necessary to intervene and perform artificial purification. Dialysis is the artificial purification process of blood. Using dialysis process, it is possible to remove waste, excess of water and other unwanted fluid from the blood of patients. In modern hospitals and clinics offering dialysis treatment, hemodialysis machines are used to perform artificial purification process. A dialysis technician is a person who has been trained to operate the hemodialysis machine and carry out pre, intra and post dialysis procedures. Let us check out the tasks of a dialysis technician- TASKS OF A DIALYSIS TECHNICIAN Setting up dialysis machine Preparing sterilization mix Recording vital body stats of the patient (temperature, blood pressure, age, pulse rate and weight) Monitoring the patient Guiding the patient and communicating with him/her Administering anaesthesia (as per requirement) Operate dialysis machine Supervise dialysis process Calculating blood flow Cleaning and inspection of dialysis machine In short, when it comes to dialysis technology course, students are trained to operate dialysis equipment, inspect and maintain it. Other than technical training, subjects like human anatomy and physiology, renal diseases, other relevant diseases, blood chemistry etc. Are also covered in this course. After completing the course, dialysis technicians may work under the supervision of specialised Doctors and Nurses at hospitals or healthcare setups offering dialysis treatment.
