Overview

Dialysis is a medical procedure used to filter waste and toxins from a patient's blood when their kidneys are unable to do so. It is a lifesaving procedure used to treat kidney failure, and it can also be used to treat other conditions like high blood pressure and fluid overload. Dialysis treatment is typically administered in a hospital or clinic, and involves a machine that pumps the patient's blood through a filter to remove dangerous toxins and excess fluids. The filtered blood is then returned to the patient's body. Dialysis is used to treat patients with end stage renal disease, and is an essential tool in helping them to live a healthy and normal life.
