Dialysis

This is the most common type of dialysis, where blood is removed from the body, filtered through a dialyzer (artificial kidney) to remove waste and excess fluid, and then returned to the bloodstream. Hemodialysis is typically performed in a dedicated dialysis unit within the hospital.

Peritoneal dialysis is another form of dialysis that involves using the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter. Dialysis solution is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, where it absorbs waste products and excess fluid from the blood. Peritoneal dialysis may be performed at home or in the hospital, depending on the patient's needs and preferences.
