Haemodialysis
Haemodialysis is the removal of waste products and water from the blood through an artificial semi-permeable membrane. During treatment blood is pumped outside the body and through a dialyser that acts as an artificial kidney. Haemodialysis can take place in the home, in-centre or at a satellite unit.
