Dial­y­sis: What is it?

Dial­y­sis is a life-sav­ing treat­ment that takes over the role of your kid­neys when they can no longer func­tion effec­tive­ly. It removes waste prod­ucts and extra flu­ids from your blood through a spe­cial machine. There are two main types of dialysis: 

• Hemodial­y­sis (home or in-cen­ter): This treat­ment involves fil­ter­ing your blood through an arti­fi­cial kid­ney (dia­lyz­er) at a clin­ic or at home, typ­i­cal­ly for sev­er­al hours, a few times a week. 

• Peri­toneal Dial­y­sis (done at home): This option uses the lin­ing of your abdomen (peri­toneum) as a nat­ur­al fil­ter. A spe­cial solu­tion is cycled in and out of your abdom­i­nal cav­i­ty, car­ry­ing away waste products. 

We will work with you to deter­mine the most suit­able form of dial­y­sis for your indi­vid­ual needs and lifestyle.
