GCSE Biology- Kidney Treatment Fact Sheet

I got a level 9 in GCSE Biology after revising from this resource!

A comprehensive, exceptional-quality fact sheet of clear, easy to understand notes on GCSE Biology Kidney Treatment created by a level 9 GCSE Student in accordance with the AQA Biology syllabus. The resource is also suitable for other exam boards such as Edexcel and OCR.

The resource includes essential content from the GCSE course, laid out in an intelligible and straightforward manner.

I often found the GCSE textbooks to be overwhelming and visually intense, so the resource was created to combat this- it obviously worked!

Areas covered include:

• What does dialysis consist of?
• How is the patient’s blood diverted through the machine?
• How does the dialysis membrane work?
• What does the dialysis fluid consist of and why?
• Which substances are being removed from the blood and by which process?
• What are the pros and cons of a transplant?
• Which drugs does the patient have to take? Why? For how long?
• Which of the two treatments for kidney failure do you think is better? Why?
