Medical Conditions - Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis is the supportive treatment for renal failure in which the dialyzer performs the function of the failed kidneys by excreting the wastes from your body. It is crucial in maintaining the blood pressure, potassium, calcium, and sodium levels in the blood. Waste products in the blood enter into the dialysis solution, and the filtered blood enters the body.
