In medicine, hemodialysis, also haemodialysis, is a method for removing waste products such as potassium and urea, as well as free water from the blood when the kidneys are incapable of this (i.e. in renal failure). It is a form of renal dialysis and is therefore a renal replacement therapy.

It is a technique used to remove waste materials from blood in a patient whose kidneys have failed or stoped functioning. Kidneys fail due to a number or diseases including infectious and nutritive dysbalances or even autoimmunity. Hemodialysis performs function of kidneys in such patients.Waste materials may include urea, creatinine.excess ions and fluid.The procedure keeps blood pressure normal in those who have irreversible kidney failure. But beware that equipment used in the procedure is sterilized or you may get a number of blood bourn diseases including hepatitis B/C and AIDS.
