Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.
What happens during dialysis of a patient:-
The membranes filter waste products from your blood, which are passed into the dialysate fluid. The used dialysate fluid is pumped out of the dialyser, and the filtered blood is passed back into your body through the second needle. During your dialysis sessions, you'll sit or lie on a couch, recliner or bed.
There are 3 main types of dialysis: in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis.
