A dialysis machine is a medical device used to perform dialysis, a treatment for individuals whose kidneys are not functioning properly. It helps remove waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood, mimicking the natural filtering process of healthy kidneys. This machine is essential for patients with chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury. During the dialysis process, blood is drawn from the body and passed through the machine, where it is cleaned and then returned to the body. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis, which uses the machine to filter blood, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen.
