Blood is a critical body fluid. What role does blood play in the body? How is it usually cleaned, and how is it cleaned during dialysis?

Sagot :

Answer:  Dialysis cleans your blood by passing it through a filter. If you do peritoneal dialysis (PD), the filter is the lining of your abdomen (your peritoneum). If you do hemodialysis, the filter is made of plastic. Your blood is on one side of the filter.

Explanation:Hemodialysis uses a machine to pull blood out of the body, filter it, and pump the clean blood back into the body again. The actual filtering happens in a part of the machine called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney. The dialyzer has two parts. One part is for blood.
