<P> Hemodialysis is a method for removing waste products such as creatinine and urea , as well as free water from the blood when the kidneys are in kidney failure . The mechanical device used to clean the patients blood is called a dialyser , also known as an artificial kidney . The other name for artificial kidney is also called a dialysis machine . Modern dialysers typically consist of a cylindrical rigid casing enclosing hollow fibers cast or extruded from a polymer or copolymer , which is usually a proprietary formulation . The combined area of the hollow fibers is typically between 1 - 2 square meters . Intensive research has been conducted by many groups to optimize blood and dialysate flows within the dialyser , in order to achieve efficient transfer of wastes from blood to dialysate . </P>
