	Dialysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function (acute renal failure) or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney function (end stage renal failure).
		By altering the composition of the dialysis fluid, the concentrations of undesired solutes (chiefly potassium and urea) in the fluid are low, but the desired solutes (for example sodium) are at their natural concentration found in healthy blood, or in the case of bicarbonate, greater, to neutralise the acidosis that is often present.
		The dialysis process is very efficient, allowing the treatment to be undertaken intermittently, usually three times a week, but often fairly large volumes of fluid must be removed in a session which can sometimes be demanding on the patient and their family.

	Renal Dialysis -- Life-Sustaining Technologies
