Answer:
This process uses an artificial kidney (hemodialyzer) to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood. The blood is removed from the body and filtered through the artificial kidney. The filtered blood is then returned to the body with the help of a dialysis machine.
Answer:
Dialysis is an artificial way to eliminate waste and excess fluid from the body.”
Explanation:
Types of Dialysis
There are two types of dialysis:
Hemodialysis
In this method, the patient’s blood is passed through the dialysis machine where it is purified and returned to the patient’s body.
Peritoneal dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis is done by surgically implanting a catheter in the stomach of the patient. A cleaning fluid (dialysate) is then circulated throughout the catheter that absorbs the waste materials from the blood vessels in the walls of the stomach. It is then drawn out and discarded. Peritoneal dialysis is considered to be more versatile and convenient than hemodialysis.
