Dialysis – Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis

Dialysis – Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis are life-saving treatments for patients with kidney failure. Hemodialysis involves filtering blood through a machine to remove toxins, excess fluids, and waste products, typically performed in clinics several times a week. Peritoneal Dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen as a natural filter, allowing patients more flexibility and independence. Both methods help maintain balance in the body when kidneys can no longer function adequately, supporting patients until a transplant becomes possible.
