dialyzed
Underwent kidney replacement
Dialyzed describes something that has undergone dialysis—the process of separating substances in a solution by passing them through a membrane.
In medicine, a dialyzed patient has had their blood filtered by a machine to remove waste products when the kidneys can't: He was dialyzed three times a week.
In chemistry, dialyzed solutions have been purified of smaller molecules.
