Dialysis Techniques

Dialysis is a medical process that removes waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys can't do so effectively. There are two main types: hemodialysis, where blood is filtered outside the body through a machine, and peritoneal dialysis, where the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) acts as a natural filter using a special solution. Both methods help maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance, supporting overall health in people with kidney failure. The choice of technique depends on individual health needs and lifestyle considerations.
