removal of nitrogenous waste and toxins from the body in place of or to augment the kidney
Renal dialysis is a medical treatment that removes waste products and toxins from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do this job on their own. It's an important procedure for people with kidney disease or failure, allowing their bodies to get rid of harmful substances that would otherwise build up and cause serious health problems.
