Why is dialysis linked with an artificial kidney?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it helps remove waste substances from blood
Dialysis is a treatment that partly replaces the filtering work of failed kidneys. Blood is passed through a dialyser containing a selectively permeable membrane; wastes such as urea and excess salts diffuse into the dialysis fluid, while cleaned blood is returned. Thus option A correctly explains its connection with an artificial kidney. It does not make food, pump blood like the heart, or produce stomach acid.
