I Have To Get A Clearance From My Surgeon So That I Can Begin To Use Heparin Again At Dialysis

My nurses had told me today during my dialysis session that I have to go and get a written clearance from my surgeon that operated for my Appendectomy so that they can begin to use Heparin on me again for my dialysis treatment. Heparin is an anticoagulant for the blood so that it would not clump together during treatment so that the blood will not block the passages in the blood filter (dialyzer) to ensure an optimal blood-cleaning session.

What they are doing right now is that they just flush the blood with saline solution so that the top or the entrance of the dialyzer is cleared-out every fifteen minutes or so. It is actually not efficient way to clean the blood with the flushing technique because the blood is not freely flowing unto the dialyzer.

The dialysis patient just needs a thinned-out blood so that more blood could flow freely like water and thus more of it can get passed through the small holes and get cleaned thoroughly to make the dialysis worthwhile and effective.

Now I just needed to get a clearance from the surgeon but we actually had texted him and was told to meet him at the University clinic later this morning. My parents will be the one to go because I am not required anymore for that matter since it is just a request for a written clearance and not a check-up.

Hopefully I will again will be able to be administered with "Heparin" for my next dialysis and it will by then cause a better dialysis session compared to what was being done to me from about one month already. My nurses just can't decide for themselves if I can already use Heparin or not considering that I got operated on for already about a month ago. I do not know if that is the protocol or they are just making overly sure about that matter.

Thankfully my surgeon is just very responsive after being texted by my mother and notified us immediately that we can get our purpose in the designated time in place at the University College where he will be probably making a clinic this late morning.
