Dialysis: The process of separating the nitrogenous waste from blood with the help of this machine is called dialysis.
The efficiency of kidneys can be adversely affected by injury, infection or decreased blood supply.
If kidneys fail, nitrogenous wastes are separated from the blood with the help of a man-made machine.
About 500 ml of blood is sent at one time through this machine. Purified blood is reinfused into the body of the patient.
