How does kidney machine use diffusion?

A kidney machine, or dialysis machine, utilizes diffusion to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood. During the dialysis process, blood flows through a semipermeable membrane that separates it from a dialysis solution (dialysate). Waste substances and toxins in the blood diffuse across the membrane into the dialysate, which maintains a lower concentration of these substances, effectively cleansing the blood before it is returned to the body. This process mimics the natural function of healthy kidneys in filtering blood.
