The correct option is A Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation for assertion
When the kidneys are completely damaged, the patient has to undergo hemodialysis. Blood which contains waste is pumped into the dialysis unit. Heparin is added in this blood to prevent coagulation. The dialyzer is filled with dialysis fluid that contains the same quantity of electrolytes and nutrients as normal plasma. Cellophane tube is kept in the dialysis fluid. Wastes from the blood such as urea and ammonia are diffused into the dialysing fluid when it flows through the cellophane tube. Now, the blood is returned to the patient’s body through the vein.
