1. A system for hemodialysis comprising:
a first dialysis module comprising:
a dialyzer;
a blood circuit configured to receive blood from a patient, circulate the blood through the dialyzer, and return cleaned blood to the patient;
a dialysate circuit configured to circulate dialysate through the dialyzer and remove impurities from the blood;
a first sorbent for removing toxins from the blood; and
a first case enclosing the dialyzer, the blood circuit, the dialysate circuit and the first sorbent;
an auxiliary module detachably connectable to the first dialysis module, the auxiliary module comprising:
an ultrafiltrate collector operably couplable to the dialysate circuit for removing excess fluid therefrom;
an ultrafiltrate pump; and
a second case enclosing the ultrafiltrate collector and the ultrafiltrate pump;
a fluid line extending through the first case and the second case to connect the ultrafiltrate pump and the dialysate circuit; and
a connector element disposed in the fluid line to allow a user to release the auxiliary module from the first dialysis module without interrupting flow in the dialysate circuit.
