Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dialyzer is the key to hemodialysis. 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-2: -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.
