"Haemofiltration" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Haemofiltration is a medical procedure where a patient's blood is filtered using a machine to remove excess fluid, waste products, and excess substances from the blood. It is often used in dialysis patients to help manage fluid buildup and waste removal when their kidneys are not functioning properly. The process involves drawing blood from the patient, filtering out excess waste products and fluids, and then returning the cleaned blood back to the patient.
Haemoglophagia is a rare medical condition in which certain parasites, such as the malaria parasite, feed on the hemoglobin of red blood cells. It literally means "eating blood" in Greek, derived from the words "haema" meaning blood and "phagein" meaning to eat. It occurs when the parasites infect red blood cells and break them down to extract the hemoglobin, which is then used as a source of nutrition for the parasites.
