Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.Hemodialysis can be an outpatient or
inpatient therapy. Routine hemodialysis is
conducted in a dialysis outpatient facility,
either a purpose built room in a hospital or a
dedicated, stand-alone clinic. Less frequently
hemodialysis is done at home. Dialysis
treatments in a clinic are initiated anhd
managed by specialized staff made up of
nurses and technicians; dialysis treatments at
home can be self-initiated and managed or
done jointly with the assistance of a trained
helper who is usually a family member.
