What is dialysis?

Answer

 Dialysis is a procedure that is a substitute for many of the normal functions of the kidneys. It is the process of selectively filtering out nitrogenous wastes and retaining larger molecules such as proteins and other useful components of the blood.  Dialysis can allow individuals to live productive and useful lives, even though their kidneys no longer work adequately.
