I was just looking because our nearest public dialysis machine is more than 100km away...
They are not expensive, an auction site i googled starts them at $89 and I saw one for $500, I'm sure you can also pay a lot more for them too of course.
There are also new portable machines coming out now, some are only ~5kg (10lb) and can be worn on a belt, they give more gradual dialysis over a longer time rather than a short intense treatment.
What else can I help you with?
How efficient is a kidney dialysis machine in comparison to a healthy kidney?
Depends which machine, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis machine. Both are efficient and u can live long, but definitely not as much as you could with a healthy kidney. Dialysis machines purify you're blood but they don't purify it always well enough and they purify blood elements that they should not purify also. So its best to be healthy :)
How does the kidney work with these system?
I not sure what you are referring to as these system. Just think of your kidneys as a filter for your body, it filters out the things it does not want, or maybe you have to much of. For example had a patient once who had to much magnesium in her TPN, her kidney filtered it out thru urination. She all of a sudden started putting out large amounts of urine. Having said that if you had kidney issue, your body could not do this and you die. With out at least one working kidney, you are on a dialysis machine. The machine acts just like your kidney do if they were working it filters out the bad stuff and put clean blood back in your system.
Why are people with kidney dialysis not advised to take too much fats?
Dialysis is not as good as having functioning kidneys. To stay healthy on dialysis it's important to eat stuff that's easy on the body to deal with, and fat isn't easy.

How can a person survive even if they suffer with kidney failure?
Dialysis is designed to completely take over the function of the failed kidneys. As long as the person is dialyzed frequently enough, they can live for a normal life span. (The issue is that being attached to a dialysis machine takes up a lot of time, and normally they're not portable. This means that the person will spend much less time doing the things which they actually want to do).
