MODEL RELEASED. Dialysis unit. Nurse with a patient who has just finished dialysis. Kidney dialysis,or haemodialysis,is required when the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste products from the blood properly. A patient's blood flows out of their body through a tube into a dialysis machine (right),or dialyser,which acts as an artificial kidney,removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood. The cleaned blood is then returned to the patient through a second tube. The procedure takes several hours and needs to be repeated several times a week | |
