2. Kidney dialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_dialysis

   Along with kidney transplantation, it is a type of renal replacement therapy. Dialysis may need to be initiated when there is a sudden rapid loss of kidney function, known as acute kidney injury (previously called acute renal failure), or when a gradual decline in kidney function, chronic kidney failure, reaches stage 5.

3. Healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing

   The existing epithelial cells can replicate, and, using the basement membrane as a guide, eventually bring the kidney back to normal. After regeneration is complete, the damage is undetectable, even microscopically. [citation needed] Healing must happen by repair in the case of injury to cells that are unable to regenerate (e.g. neurons).

4. Artificial kidney - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_kidney

   Artificial kidney is often a synonym for hemodialyzer, but may also refer to the other renal replacement therapies (with exclusion of kidney transplantation) that are in use and/or in development. This article deals mainly with bio-artificial kidneys featuring cells that are grown from renal cell lines/renal tissue.

5. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

   Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure.

7. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

   Kidney failure, also known as renal failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a medical condition in which the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products from the blood, functioning at less than 15% of normal levels. [2]
