Solution

  • The process in which an artificial kidney is used to remove nitrogenous waste from blood is known as dialysis.
  • Some people need to use a dialysis machine because of malfunctioing of one or both of their kidneys.
  • Kidneys filter the blood, and if, the blood is not filtered, toxic substances will accumulate in our body and if these toxic substances are not removed from our bloodstream, we will die.
