dialysis membranes

Dialysis membranes are semi-permeable barriers used in medical treatments to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood, often in patients with kidney failure. These membranes contain microscopic pores that allow small particles, like waste and excess salts, to pass through while blocking larger molecules, such as proteins and blood cells. This simulates the natural filtering process of healthy kidneys. During dialysis, blood flows on one side of the membrane and a special fluid on the other side, helping to remove toxins effectively, thereby maintaining the body's chemical balance and overall health.
