| Noun | 1. | hemodialysis - dialysis of the blood to remove toxic substances or metabolic wastes from the bloodstream; used in the case of kidney failure Synonyms: haemodialysis |
| Pronunciation: (HEE-moh-dy-AL-ih-sis) The use of a machine to clean wastes from the blood after the kidneys have failed. The blood travels through tubes to a dialyzer, which removes wastes and extra fluid. The cleaned blood then flows through another set of tubes back into the body. |  |
