What is Dialysis?

Dialysis is a medical treatment that performs the function of the kidneys when they are unable to work properly. It helps remove waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood — keeping your body balanced and healthy.

Key Functions

  • Removes Toxins and Waste: Filters waste from the blood when kidneys fail to do so.
  • Maintains Fluid Balance: Prevents fluid overload and swelling.
  • Regulates Electrolytes: Keeps sodium, potassium, and calcium levels in check.
  • Supports Overall Health: Helps control blood pressure and reduces complications from kidney failure.

Types of Dialysis

1. Hemodialysis

A procedure where a dialysis machine and an artificial kidney (dialyzer) filter the blood.
Features:

  • Performed at the dialysis center
  • Usually done 2–3 times a week
  • Each session lasts around 3–4 hours
    Ideal for: Chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure patients.

2. Peritoneal Dialysis

Utilizes the abdominal lining, known as the peritoneum, as a natural filtration system. A dialysis solution is introduced into the abdominal cavity to absorb waste products, which are later drained.
Features:

  • Can be done at home
  • Continuous and flexible treatment option
    Ideal for: Patients preferring home-based dialysis under doctor guidance.
