    GlossaryHemodialysis (HD)

    medical procedure filtering blood for kidney failure patients

    Hemodialysis, often abbreviated as HD, is a medical procedure used to treat kidney failure by filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood. This process involves diverting blood from the body into a machine called a dialyzer, which acts as an artificial kidney, before returning the cleaned blood back to the body.
