Application of Dialysis Machines in Modern Medicine

Dialysis machines, also known as artificial kidneys, are medical devices used to perform dialysis—a life-saving treatment that replaces the filtration function of damaged or failed kidneys. Their applications extend beyond hospitals into home healthcare, disaster relief, and even intensive care units (ICUs).

Main Applications
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Regular hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, usually 3 sessions/week.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Temporary use in ICU settings or trauma cases.

Home Hemodialysis

Used by trained patients at home, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Peritoneal Dialysis Support

Some machines also assist in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).

Pediatric Dialysis

Specialized machines for infants and children.

Mobile/Dialysis-on-the-Go

Portable dialysis machines used in ambulances, remote areas, or emergency relief.
