kidney dialysis machines

A kidney dialysis machine acts as an artificial substitute for healthy kidneys by removing waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys can’t do so effectively. Blood is drawn from the patient, filtered through the machine’s dialyzer (artificial kidney), which cleans it, and then the purified blood is returned to the body. This process typically takes several hours and helps maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance, ensuring the body functions normally. Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for people with kidney failure, supporting their health and well-being.
