dialyses
Artificial kidney treatments
Dialyses is the plural of dialysis, the medical process of filtering waste from blood when kidneys fail.
Patients with kidney disease may require regular dialyses—typically three sessions per week: After years of dialyses, she finally received a transplant.
The term also applies in chemistry to separating molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
