wally the best An artificial kidney system comprises an artificial kidney forming container having an inlet blood port connectable with a patient's artery and an outlet blood port connectable with a patient's vein so that blood from the patient's artery can flow through the inlet port into the container, then through an inner space of the container and then through the outlet blood port into the patient's vein, the inner space of the container being filled with an adsorbent for removing harmful and toxic compounds from a stream of blood flowing in the inner space from the inlet blood port to the outlet blood port, the container being provided with a separate chamber formed inside the inner space and limited by a semi-permeable polymeric ultrafiltration-type membrane which allows water and dissolved small molecules to be transported from blood into the chamber, and suction element connectable with the separate chamber so that the water and the dissolved small molecules are transported from blood into the separate chamber and further outside of the container under the action of suction of the suction element.
Much the same way that a regular kidney does. Your kidneys work essentially by a "salt imbalance"... one half of your kidney has a higher salt content than the other. As the blood moves through the kidney, the salt absorbs the liquid. Waste is channeled to the ureter towards the bladder, while other liquid is returned to the blood.
An artificial kidney or dialysis machine works much in the same way.
Ultra-filtration within the kidney forces the waste product out, during the process some smaller useful material are also forced out into urine. These are then reabsorbed, this is called selective re-absorption.
The kidneys filter blood by removing water and nitrogenous waste to form urine.
Dialysis
For waste filtering, the kidneys. The liver filters blood, too, but not of wastes.
An organ that filters wastes from blood besides the kidneys is the liver. The liver removes glucose and stores it for future use. It also aids the kidneys in toxin removal.

your Beautiful Kidneys
The kidneys in the urinary system filters waste from the blood.
Yes they do. They have kidneys just like us.
Nephrons are the tiny filters that remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.
The kidneys filter blood and produce water with wastes called urine.
Your kidneys filer your blood of nitrogenous wastes. These wastes are then moved to the bladder in the form of urine and expelled.
The kidneys filter nitrogenous wastes from the blood. The spleen and liver complete other types of filtering functions.
The liver filters the blood.
The kidneys are part of the excretory system. They filter the blood, and remove water-soluble wastes which are diverted to the bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete nitrogenous wastes such as urea and ammonium.
