dialysed
Underwent kidney replacement
Dialysed is the British spelling of dialyzed, the past tense of dialyze.
To dialyze is to separate substances in solution by passing them through a membrane—the principle behind kidney dialysis, which filters waste from blood when kidneys fail.
The patient was dialysed three times a week.
