body is a wonderfully working machine. Homeostasis relates greatly to the “set point theory”.

balance of chemicals. Dialysis uses a dialyzer‚ or special filter‚ to clean your blood. The dialyzer connects to a machine. During treatment‚ your blood travels through tubes into the dialyzer. The dialyzer filters out wastes and extra fluids. Next the newly cleaned blood flows through another set of tubes and back into your body. Before a first treatment‚ an access to your bloodstream must be made. The access provides a way for blood to be carried from your body to the dialysis machine and then back

They need new areas to continue to grow and dialysis is a global disease. They saw an opportunity with providing high quality dialysis in the less fortunate areas in the world that do not provide that currently (Travis‚ 2012). DaVita sat down and began the plan of expanding for this purpose. After they specified the goal and thought of
