Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water
(ultrafiltration) from the blood. Our kidneys do this naturally. Some people, however, may have
failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly - they may need dialysis.
In recent years the technology and techniques in the dialysis process have evolved opening many
new options for those who require frequent dialysis procedures. A dialysis professional can set
up, evaluate, operate, and troubleshoot dialysis machines, and this knowledge can be used to
find work in quality control or other areas in dialysis machine manufacturing. The professional
is also trained to monitor the condition of the patient, including taking vital signs and other
medical evaluation criteria.
