Summary Introduction

To explain: How the dialysis in the kidney failure patient would be beneficial.

Concept introduction: Dialysis is the laboratory technique for the diffusion of solutes. In dialysis process, the solutes are smaller than the pore size of the semi-permeable membrane of the dialysis membrane is exchanged freely between the samples, and the bulk solution until equilibrium is reached. During dialysis, solutes diffuse across semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
