Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ultrafiltration is the removal of fluid from a patient and is one of the functions of the kidneys that dialysis treatment replaces.
