Can you tell me about the difference between dialisis and a blood transfusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dialysis cleans: A blood transfusion is the delivery of blood to a patient to restore the hemoglobin level as well as blood volume. Dialysis is taking blood out of the blood stream and passing it thru a filtering system to remove poisons in the blood and then re transfusing it.
