Extracorporeal circulation and treatment of blood: Dialysis following no graft function and failure of kidney transplant: Intermittent: 4 to 5 treatments

Your blood was cleaned by dialysis because your donor kidney was not working properly.

You were given a kidney from another person. This kidney was not working adequately. That’s why your blood was repeatedly cleaned by dialysis. The purpose of dialysis is to help the kidneys detoxify the body. The dialysis may even take over this role completely. Dialysis is also known as blood cleaning.
