Question
Write short note : Dialysis
✓
Answer
- The efficiency of kidneys can be adversely affected by injury, infection or decreased blood supply.
- If this happens, excess of toxic substances accumulates in the body and it can lead to death.
- If kidneys fail, nitrogenous wastes are separated from the blood with the help of a man-made machine.
- The process of separating the nitrogenous waste from the blood with the help of this machine is called dialysis.
- About 500 ml of blood is sent at one time through this machine. Purified blood is reinfused into the body of the patient.
