2. Kidney dialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_dialysis

   Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the compromised endocrine functions of the kidney. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal). [6] Dialysis uses highly purified (also known as "ultrapure") water. [7]

3. Renal replacement therapy - Wikipedia

   These treatments are not truly cures for kidney disease.

[2] In peritoneal dialysis specific fluid is placed into the abdominal cavity and then drained, with this process being repeated multiple times per day. [2]

   Over 26 million American adults have kidney disease and most are not aware of it. More than 661,000 of them have kidney failure and 468,000 are on dialysis.
