[edit] Step by step description of hemodialysis

Does anyone else think that this section should go?Felix-felix 18:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it has some use. That said, I think we can throw it into a separate article: Step-by-step description of hemodialysis. Nephron  T|C 18:30, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Principle of hemodialysis

I've edited out alot of the recent edits to this section, not because they were incorrect but because this section ought to be punchy and to the point. Nephron put some stuff related to clearance, which he clearly knows alot about, in there which clouded the point in my opinion. A section relating to dialysis adequacy after the prescription section would be good-as kt/v urr etc could all be linked to. I have to admit right now that even the thought of dialysis adequacy makes me actively suicidal..Felix-felix 11:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

• I vote no-in fact, I'd go further and say I think that the step-by-step guide should go altogether-it's not very encyclopedic. But having it in this article is unweildly and bloating.Felix-felix 08:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. I second Felix-felix on the fact that it's unencyclopedic. No convincing justification was given for the merge-- by those proposing. I think the proposed merge should be removed speedily-- the split-out was discussed above. Nephron  T|C 22:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
