Detailed explanation-1: -During hemodialysis, your blood goes through a filter, called a dialyzer, outside your body. A dialyzer is sometimes called an “artificial kidney.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemodialysis uses a machine to pull blood out of the body, filter it, and pump the clean blood back into the body again. The actual filtering happens in a part of the machine called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney. The dialyzer has two parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dialyzer is called the artificial kidney because it filters the blood-a job the kidneys used to do. The dialyzer is a hollow plastic tube about a foot long and three inches in diameter that contains many tiny filters.
Detailed explanation-4: -With hemodialysis, a machine removes blood from your body, filters it through a dialyzer (artificial kidney) and returns the cleaned blood to your body. This 3-to 5-hour process may take place in a hospital or a dialysis center three times a week. You can also do hemodialysis at home.
Detailed explanation-5: -noun. a mechanical device that operates outside the body and substitutes for the kidney by removing waste products from the blood.
