Hemodialysis, Kidney Disease. A procedure in which impurities or wastes are removed from the blood. The patient's blood is shunted from the body through a machine for diffusion and ultrafiltration and returned to the patient's circulation. This procedure is used in treating renal failure and various toxic conditions. Without this, toxic wastes build up in the blood and tissues and cannot be filtered out by the ailing kidneys. This condition is known as uremia, which means “urine in the blood.” Eventually, this waste buildup leads to death.
