Answer 2

Answer:

Hemodialysis rids your body of harmful wastes, it also removes excess electrolytes and fluid.

Explanation:

• From the body, blood is removed and delivered to the hemodialyzer or artificial kidney, which permits the diffusion of small solutes as it contains pores large enough for their diffusion.

• Dialysate is the special solution that is pumped into the hemodialyzer so that it can surround the dialysis membrane.
• The dialysate is especially articulated to maintain the diffusion gradients that remove the waste from the blood like urea, creatinine, uric acid, excess phosphate, potassium, and sulfate ions and add required substances like bicarbonate ions and glucose to it.

• When the blood is cleaned, it is passed through an air embolus detector to remove the air and then returned to the body.
• Heparin is used as an anti-coagulant to prevent the clotting of blood in hemodialyzer.
