Case Summary
- Dialysis, derived from the Greek word meaning "dissolution," involves the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane.

The first human hemodialysis was performed by Dr. Haas, though it faced complications. Dr. John Paul created the first working dialysis machine, and Albert Kittley developed an improved model.
