How haemodialysis differs from the function of kidneys ?
Answers
Dialysis is a procedure that helps your blood get filtered by a machine that works like an artificial kidney.
Hemodialysis: Your entire blood is circulated outside your body in a machine placed outside the body known as a dialyzer. This dialyzer acts like an artificial kidney that cleans and returns the blood to your body. This is done either at a dialysis facility or at home. The term dialysis generally refers to hemodialysis and there is no difference between these two terminologies.
Function of Kidney
Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals—such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium—in your blood.
Without this balance, nerves, muscles, and other tissues in your body may not work normally.
