This is a treatment that takes over your kidney functions if those organs stop doing their job effectively. There are two types of dialysis:
Hemodialysis: Your blood is put through a filter outside your body, cleaned, and then returned to you. This is done at our dialysis facility.
Peritoneal dialysis: Your blood is cleaned inside your body. A special fluid is put into your abdomen to absorb waste from the blood that passes through small vessels in your abdominal cavity. The fluid is then drained away.
