Answer #1

Question 1 A) Hemodialysis

               Hemodialysis filters waste and water from your blood. If it is done then we can treat other two conditions such as hypertension and renal failure.

Question 2 C) Parentheses

               The parenthesis is used in ICD-10 with the supplimentary words either seen or not seen in diagnostic statement without creating any impact to the code. These are known as nonessential modifiers.
