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.

What role of the kidney does a dialysis machine carry out?

How does osmosis differ dialysis?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration, to equalize concentration. Dialysis is a process that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood in individuals with kidney failure. While both involve the movement of substances across a membrane, osmosis focuses on water movement, whereas dialysis is a specific process used to filter waste products.

What happens if you have a kidney malfunction and the only way you could survive is to use a kidney dialysis machine and no donor was found for a kidney transplant?
If you experience kidney malfunction and require dialysis, the dialysis machine performs the essential functions of your kidneys by filtering waste, excess fluid, and toxins from your blood. This process typically takes place several times a week, allowing you to survive despite the absence of a functioning kidney. While dialysis can be life-sustaining, it is not a cure, and long-term dependence on it can lead to various health complications. If a kidney transplant is not an option, ongoing dialysis treatment becomes a critical part of managing your health.
What is the process of artificially filtering waste products from the patients blood?
Patients with kidney disorders need to be treated with dialysis. Devices that perform dialysis are simply called dialysis machines (dialyzers). For more information on dialysis follow the links below.
