    From Greek διάλÃ?...Ã?ƒιÃ?‚, dialusis (dissolution), from διά, dia (through) + λÃ?...Ã?ƒιÃ?‚, lusis (loosening). In medicine, `dialysis` is primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function (renal replacement therapy) due to renal failure. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly but temporarily, lost their kidney function (acute renal failure) or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost ...
