Notably, hemodialysis is a medical procedure to remove fluid and waste products from the blood and to correct electrolyte imbalances. This is accomplished using a machine and a dialyzer which also referred to as an "artificial kidney." Hemodialysis is used to treat both acute (temporary) and chronic (permanent) kidney failure.
