A young man filtered out 4 kilograms of oil through hemodialysis. Is this method reliable for losing weight?

Recently, a young man in Wuhan became famous because the doctor gave him dialysis and filtered out 2 liters of golden oil from his blood. Many people expressed astonishment and wanted to know what caused this situation. Some people even imagined whether oil extraction through hemodialysis can be used to lose weight? It has to be said that those who have this idea are really imaginative, but this technology is indeed useful in treating some obese patients.

First of all, how could a healthy blood vessel suddenly become an “oil pipe”?

First of all, these oils are indeed extracted from the blood, but it does not mean that they exist in the blood vessels in the form of liquid oil, but apolipoprotein. The reason for such a serious situation is actually directly related to the young man's body and diet. Mr. Wang, 33 years old, lives in Hankou. He is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 274 kilograms. His BMI (an index to measure the degree of obesity, normal people are below 24, and above 28 can be judged as obese) is as high as 44.55. He is really fat!

Let's see what he likes to eat. He usually doesn't eat breakfast, but he eats too much for lunch and dinner. He likes to eat high-oil, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, such as fried chicken, hamburgers, and cream cakes. It is precisely because of this diet that a large amount of fat accumulates, causing his obesity. At the same time, the fat will enter the blood to form hyperlipidemia, which is why oil can be extracted from his blood vessels.

Now, let's understand what the technology is that can extract oil from blood vessels and whether it can be used for weight loss.

Many people think that this is the hemodialysis we often hear about, but it is not. Because conventional dialysis will discharge water and small molecules from the body, and small molecules usually do not contain lipoproteins, and the particle size of lipoproteins is relatively large, so ordinary hemodialysis cannot discharge fat. However, if an adsorption column for adsorbing fat is added, it can help patients effectively discharge fat from the body, especially for patients with severe hyperlipidemia, such as Mr. Wang from Wuhan just now.

Although this dialysis method can remove fat from the blood, it will also cause the loss of blood protein during the dialysis process. Moreover, it can only remove fat carried by apolipoprotein in the blood, but has no effect on fat deposited elsewhere in the body. Therefore, this method is only suitable for more severe hyperlipidemia, but not for weight loss.

Therefore, if you want to have a well-proportioned body and a healthy body, you still need to control your mouth and move your legs, otherwise, oil may be drawn out of your blood vessels.
