Haemodialysis involves the use of a machine, which pumps the blood in a circuit from the body through an artificial kidney, and back to the body. As the blood goes through the artificial kidney the waste products move across a membrane and the waste products and fluid are removed from the blood.
A dialysis session takes between four to six hours, and is usually required three times each week.
