Dialysis is artificial kidney treatment.
Hemodialysis is the most widely utilized form. Hemodialysis is the process of removing waste and excess fluid from the blood, utilizing an artificial kidney machine. In hemodialysis, blood is pumped out of the patient's body to the artificial kidney machine. This machine has a special filter called a dialyzer that cleans the blood by filtering out the wastes. The blood cells will not go through the membrane because they are too large.
