Hi Zeph,

  1. is there any limitations that dialysis treatment has?

Not sure what you mean by ā€œlimitations?ā€ In what? Dialysis isnā€™t the same as having healthy kidneys. It replaces some kidney filtering function, but drugs are needed to replace some of the hormones kidneys makeā€“dialysis canā€™t do that. Limitations on day to day life depend on which type of dialysis. The more dialysis you get, the better you can feelā€“more often or more time at each treatment or both. Try Kidney School (http://www.kidneyschool.org to learn more about dialysis & what it can & canā€™t do.

2.What biology knowlage is relted to the working of dialysis?
??? Dialysis is based on chemistry principlesā€“diffusion and ultrafiltration, not on biology. Not sure what you mean.

3.how does nephritus affect the functioning of the kidneys?
Neph = kidneys. itis = inflammation. Nephritis is inflammation that can slowly stop the kidneys from working. If you put nephritis into Google or another search engine, you can learn more about it. Thereā€™s a foundation: http://www.cc.utah.edu/~cla6202/HNF.htm, they have some info too.
