Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from the blood. It leads to the elimination of nitrogenous waste that builds up in the body due to metabolism. The dialysis also removes the excess potassium from the body.

Hemodialysis reduces the calcium ions from the GI tract and also reduces the production of RBC.
