Dialysis is a treatment that replaces kidney function by removing waste and excess fluid from the blood. It is commonly prescribed for those with temporary or permanent kidney failure, as their kidneys cannot remove fluids from the body. There are two main types of dialysis - hemodialysis, which circulates blood outside the body through a machine, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen as a filter through a surgically implanted catheter. Dialysis is the primary treatment option for end stage renal disease besides kidney transplantation.

2. What is a Dialysis??
Dialysis is a treatment which replaces
the function of the kidneys, which
normally serve as the body's natural
filtration system. The treatment
removes waste products and excess
fluids from the bloodstream, while
maintaining the proper chemical
balance of the blood.

3. It’s purpose??
Dialysis is most commonly prescribed
for patients with temporary or
permanent kidney failure. People
with end stage renal disease have
kidneys that can’t remove fluids from
their body.

only treatment option available
outside of kidney transplantation .
Also, dialysis may be used in the
treatment of patients suffering from
poisoning or overdose in order to
quickly remove drugs from the
bloodstream.

a)Hemodialysis
b)Peritoneal Dialysis

6. Hemodialysis
The treatment involves circulating
the patient's blood outside of the
body through an extracorporeal
circuit (ECC), or dialysis circuit. Two
needles are inserted into the
patient's vein, or access site, and are
attached to the ECC.

8. Peritoneal Dialysis
In peritoneal dialysis, the patient's
peritoneum, or lining of the
abdomen, acts as a blood filter. A
catheter is surgically inserted into
the patient's abdomen. During
treatment, the catheter is used to fill
the abdominal cavity with dialysate.
