Answers
Answer:

- which act as a kidney
- it filters the patients blood
- it remove excess water and waste from body
- It also helps get your electrolytes and minerals to their proper levels in your body
- The machine also monitors the flow of your blood while it is outside of your body.
- When your kidneys are damaged, they are no longer able to remove wastes and excess fluid from your bloodstream efficiently.
when a person looses the capability of filtering blood so as to remove excess water and waste products from the body as a result of dysfunctional, damaged or missing kidneys he or she needs a dialysis machine to do the filtration. The dialysis machine itself can be thought of as an artificial kidney. Inside, it consists of more plastic tubing that carries the removed blood to the dialyser, a bundle of hollow fibers that forms a semipermeable membrane for filtering out impurities. In the dialyser, blood is diffused with a saline solution called dialysate, and the dialysate is in turn diffused with blood. When the filtration process is complete, the cleansed blood is returned to the patient.
