dialysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During hemodialysis, your blood is pumped through a filter, called a dialyzer. The dialysis machine pumps blood through the filter and returns the blood to your body. During the process, the dialysis machine checks your blood pressure and controls how quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dialysis removes the waste products and extra fluid from your blood by filtering them through a membrane/filter, similar to the way healthy kidneys would. During dialysis, blood is on one side of the membrane/filter and a special fluid called dialysate (containing water, electrolytes, and minerals) is on the other.
