How Hemodialysis Works: Blood Filtration Process Explained #249641 (License: Personal Use)

This schematic depicts hemodialysis in action: impure blood flows into a dialyzer containing semi-permeable membranes that separate waste molecules (small gray spheres) and excess fluids from red blood cells and proteins. Cleaned blood then exits via the outlet arrow, while toxins are carried away by dialysate fluid. The red cross symbolizes medical care and the blue-to-purple gradient arrow indicates purified blood flow direction.

Used on nephrology, renal care, or patient education pages to explain dialysis mechanics; targets patients, caregivers, and students seeking visual understanding of kidney replacement therapy.
