Requirement: 1 Mark
Process: 2 Marks

Haemodialysis is required to treat kidney failure.
In hemodialysis, blood is passed through multiple tubes made up of a semipermeable membrane. During this passage, the waste products from the blood pass into the dialyzing fluid by diffusion and the purified blood is pumped back into the body.
