When the kidneys become weak and are unable to function properly, thereby failing to filter toxic waste from the body, dialysis may be required. This is a medical procedure which mimics the function of the kidneys. The dialysis machine acts as an external kidney and helps purify the blood and flush out harmful chemicals and toxins from the body. The kidneys are vital organs in the body that are a part of the excretory system. The main function of these bean shaped organs is to filter and purify the blood and eliminate waste in the form of urine from the body. Due to many reasons, these organs may get affected and fail to perform their function. This situation can be life threatening in nature which may also prove to be fatal in some cases. To avoid this, the individual may have to undergo dialysis. Based on the medical condition and circumstances of the patient, the type of dialysis to be administered can be determined.
