It is an effective method to use, but it can not be considered a cure as such.

I would consider it a tool helping people, but as a cure, one would need to either repair kidneys or have them replaced.

A machine can of course help the kidneys so that they can have a rest for a while and maybe improve that way.

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.
