Are the membranes in a dialysis machine permeable or selectively permeable?
The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable because it doesn't allow all cells to go through it. Think of it as a kidney. When blood is sent to the kidney, the blood cells cannot fit through the dialysis inside the kidney, but the waste and bacteria in the cells do. So, The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable.
What do you have in a time machine?

Why is it difficult for a patient who needs regular kidney dialysis to go on holiday?
Patients who need regular kidney dialysis have to schedule their treatments multiple times per week, which can be challenging to accommodate while on holiday. Finding a dialysis center at their destination, ensuring the quality of care is consistent with what they receive at home, and dealing with insurance coverage and costs are common barriers that can make it difficult for these patients to go on holiday.
Do you need dialysis if your liver is bad?
Dialysis is for kidney failure. It takes over the job for many of the kidney functions, and cleans the blood from build up of waste when you can't remove the fluid yourself through urination. The kidneys direct the body to replace your red blood cells, and regulates the storage of Vitamin D. Protein is hard on kidneys that are failing, so a special diet is usually recommended. Once you are on dialysis, you will need more protein again. Dialysis is typically done 3 times a week and for about 4 hours per session. You can go to a dialysis center, or if you are able to manage it, use a dialysis machine at home. There is a type of dialysis that uses your own body to circulate the fluids that draw out the waste, called Peritoneal Dialysis.

Can't all patients that have terminal kidney disease go on dialysis?
No. Dialysis is very expensive and few people could actually afford it out of their own finances. Most insurance companies only cover dialysis for acute (temporary) illnesses. Once a patient goes on dialysis for a chronic problem, he/she will have to use dialysis for the rest of their lives (or until they get a transplant). A persons kidneys remove waste and toxins 24/7. Dialysis only works when the patient is hooked to the machine. Thus, the body is subject to alternating high and low levels of salt, waste, poison in the blood. This causes damage to the other parts of the body and does not address the root problem of the kidney failure. For those who are sick enough to have failing kidneys, this high and low levels can actually harm them. Some patients are not strong enough to handle the process of being hooked up to the machines all day. For other patients it is a quality of live versus quantity of life issue. Since dialysis eventually fails for all patients it is not a cure - it only buys some extra time. For some patients it is better to be off daily dialysis for a few months then suffer daily dialysis for several months. In short some people can not go on dialysis because of a lack of funding, for some it does more harm, some are not strong enough to handle dialysis, for many it does not help the condition, and for many dialysis does not add enough time to overcome the loss of quality living.
