dialysis patient
Blood filtration recipient
A dialysis patient is someone whose kidneys have failed and who requires regular treatment with a machine that filters waste from the blood—work the kidneys normally perform.
Most dialysis patients visit treatment centers several times weekly for sessions lasting hours, though some perform dialysis at home.
The clinic treats over two hundred dialysis patients.
