If your kidneys fail, one of your treatment options is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis removes extra fluid and wastes from your body by constantly moving your blood through a filter. The filter, known as a dialyzer or artificial kidney, is used with a dialysis machine. Hemodialysis can be done using a machine at your home.
