Hemofilter

A hemofilter is a device used in dialysis to perform the function of the kidneys by filtering waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. It works by passing blood through a special membrane that acts like a semi-permeable barrier, allowing unwanted substances to pass through while retaining blood cells and larger proteins. This process helps to balance fluids and electrolytes in patients whose kidneys can no longer do so effectively, improving their overall health and removing harmful buildup in the body.
