How are kidneys similar to dialysis machines?
Renal dialysis is done for someone when their kidney function is so low, that toxins build up in the blood and literally poison the person. Dialysis takes over the function of the kidneys. The treatment is normally done on an out patient schedule - 3 times a week, anywhere from 3 or 4 hours to 6 hours per day. Depending on other medical conditions the person is suffering with; following the treatment they either feel great or completely worn out. For some people dialysis is a stop gap procedure, until they get a match for a kidney transplant. For others - whose kidney failure is part of a system wide organ failure - it is an attempt to keep them alive and as well as can be expected, for the shape they are in.
