~~Kidney Dialysis~~

(AKA hemodialysis)

The basic idea of Kidney dialysis is to use an artificial kidney to do the function of a regular kidney

The artificial kidney contains a semi permeable membrane that filters out unwanted elements in the blood through diffusion.  The blood is then returned to the body through a vein.  Kidney dialysis may be temporary while the kidney recovers, or it may be a life long treatment until a kidney transplant is possible
