In a healthy human body, kidneys are responsible for purifying the blood. As long as kidneys
perform this task well, there is no need for a patient to use dialysis treatment. Due to reasons
such as kidney failure and certain medical conditions (damaged kidneys and other diseases),
kidneys become unable to carry out this purification process. This is when dialysis process
comes handy!
Dialysis is the artificial purification process of blood. Using dialysis process, it is
possible to remove waste, excess of water and other unwanted fluid from the blood of
patients.
In modern hospitals and clinics offering dialysis treatment, hemodialysis machines are used to
perform artificial purification process. A dialysis technician is a person who has been trained
to operate the hemodialysis machine and carry out pre, intra and post dialysis procedures.
Dialysis is a treatment to channel squanders and water from your blood, permitting individuals
with kidney inability to rest easy and keep doing the things they appreciate.
