According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million American adults have chronic kidney disease; about 50,000 of those patients end up receiving renal replacement therapy, whether it be dialysis or (many fewer) a kidney transplant. As kidney disease progesses, the body's ability to process/eliminate wastes as well as regulate a number of metabolic processes diminishes. Common risk factors for the development of such kidney insufficiency include long-standing/poorly-controlled hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, and poly-cystic kidney disease.

Basically Dialysis is done because the patient's kidney is not functioning properly. So the Blood purification is not done as required by the affected kidneys. Therefore in order to purify the patient's blood the dialysis machine acts as artificial kidney and returns pure blood back to patient's body. The patient has to undergo dialysis process at regular intervals.
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) - the process of dialysis is done while the patient goes about his/her normal daily activities.Outpatient dialysis.
during dialysis the blood is is flowin through a closed system
hunulity process occur in dialysis because it helps pump the blood stream
Bottom line: You need at least one funtioning kidney to live. Bite the bullet and undergo the dialysis. It's a terrible procedure to have to endure, but it can and will save your life.
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.
If you are on dialysis, no you can not stop kidney dialysis. Dialysis is what cleans all the toxins from your blood. If you were to stop dialysis you will build up all the toxins. And will start feeling really awful. You might end up getting a heart attack, stroke, or just die.
It is a machine called the dialysis.
In dialysis, chemical wastes pass from the blood into the dialysis fluid through the process of diffusion. Diffusion allows waste molecules to move from an area of higher concentration (blood) to an area of lower concentration (dialysis fluid) through a semipermeable membrane. This helps to effectively filter out waste products from the blood during dialysis treatment.
A dialysis technician observes patients with kidney failure as they go through procedure. A technician makes sure the process runs smoothly and the dialysis equipment operates adequately.
