|
mechanical filtering process used to clean blood of high concentrations of metabolic waste products, draw off excess fluids, and regulate body chemistry when kidneys fail to function properly
|
|
|
HD |
process of removing excess fluids and toxins from blood by continually shunting (diverting) the patient's blood from the body into a dialysis machine for filtering, and then returning the clean blood to the pat's body via tubes connected to the circulatory system
