- The patient’s blood is removed from the body and circulated through the dialysis machine.
- The blood is separated from the dialysate solution by a semipermeable membrane inside the dialysis machine.
- The dialysate solution absorbs waste products, such as urea and potassium, from the blood.
- The waste products are then removed from the dialysate solution and discarded.
- The cleansed blood is then returned to the patient’s body.
- The process is repeated until the desired level of waste products has been removed from the patient’s blood.
