Answer 2

An artificial kidney or dialyzer is an equipment that filters the blood using a dialysis membrane.

• An average person has about 10-12 pints and in dialysis, only 1 pint is taken outside the body at a time for filtration.

• Dialysate also called dialysis fluid, is a solution of pure water, electrolytes, and salts.

• They introduce dialysate to remove toxins from the blood.

• The process occurs by diffusion in which the waster present in the blood is higher in blood than in dialysate.

• The waste moves from higher to lower and thus it is removed.
