Actualy, it doesnt use osmosis at all. Diaysis is the opposite of osmosis many people tend to mix up the two. But during dialysis the transfer of paticles form a higher area of concetration move to an area of lower concetration. Dialysis is used i artificial kidney machiens because it will let salts and other small molecules that are dissolved in blood pass through the membranes of cells.

Because the proteins are macromolecular that need to have a mechanism of osmosis in order for it to filtrate and expel the waste in the kidneys. It would overwhelm the kidney and cause further kidney problems
Define reverse osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis is the method of producing pure water by forcing saline or impure water through a semipermeable membrane across which salts or impurities cannot pass. Reverse osmosis is used for water filtration, for desalinization of seawater, and in kidney dialysis machines.
