Dialysis, hemodialysis


Dialysis is a procedure where a machine is used to clean blood of toxins that accumulate due to kidney failure. Purpose of dialysis is to clean blood of toxin called urea that is measured by lab, balance potassium which is often high in dialysis patients, balance acid-base levels and fluid balance. When kidneys don't work like they should, dialysis does one of the most important function of the kidneys which is to maintain balance of fluid, electrolyte and acid base status
