This is a real situation. Image not to be used in a defamatory context. Haemodialysis nursing. Nurse in sterile conditions preparing a heparin injection for a patient undergoing haemodialysis. Heparin is used to prevent the clotting of the blood. Kidney dialysis (haemodialysis) is used for those with reduced or failing kidney function. A machine is used to remove waste and excess water from the blood, a function normally served by the kidneys. Photographed in the UK at an NHS (National Health Service) hospital.
