Dialysis can be defined as the treatment to maintain the chemical levels in the body salt. Dialysis removes the extra water, salt and waste from the bodies of the patients whose kidneys are unable to perform their function properly. The dialysis is a temporary solution for the renal failure before a transplantation is done. The process of dialysis is time-consuming as it takes several hours to completely purify the blood.

Hence, the correct statements about dialysis are 'A, C, D'.
