Wiki:

Dialysis (from Greek ""dialusis"", meaning dissolution, ""dia"", meaning through, and ""lysis"", meaning loosening) is primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with renal failure. Dialysis may be used for those with an acute disturbance in kidney function (acute kidney injury, previously acute renal failure) or for those with progressive but chronically worsening kidney function-a state known as chronic kidney disease stage 5 (previously chronic renal failure or end-stage kidney disease). The latter form may develop over months or years, but in contrast to acute kidney injury is not usually reversible, and dialysis is regarded as a ""holding measure"" until a renal transplant can be performed, or sometimes as the only supportive measure in those for whom a transplant would be inappropriate.

Example:

She needs dialysis now|He's on dialysis, but what else?|Kidney dialysis.|Also, I want to ask you what kind of dialysis room you're running.|Until then, just keep coming in for dialysis.|I'm on dialysis.|They have him on dialysis.
