Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to remove waste and excess water from the blood. It is one of the most commonly used treatments for advanced kidney disease. It works by connecting a patient's blood vessels to an artificial kidney machine that filters the blood and removes toxins from the body. This is especially useful for those with severe kidney failure, as it can help to keep them healthy and functioning. Hemodialysis can also help to control blood pressure, reduce the amount of fluid in the body, and correct electrolyte imbalances. It is a crucial treatment for prolonging and improving the quality of life in those with end-stage kidney disease.
