Answer» Dialysis is the process of purification of blood artificially through a dialyser or dialysis machine. They suggest the process when both the kidneys of a human fails to function. If ONE kidney is damaged or removed for some reason, the other kidney alone is sufficient for excretory needs and the person can lead a normal life. But FAILURE of both kidneys would lead to DEATH. Artificial kidney is a dialysis machine. The patient's blood is led from the radial ARTERY in his arm through the machine where the urea and excess salts are removed and the purified blood is returned to a VEIN in the same arm. In cases of permanent damage to kidneys, dialysis is repeated for 12 hours twice a week. |
