Dialysis is a medical process that helps remove 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 using a machine, and peritoneal dialysis, where the lining of the abdomen acts as a natural filter through a special fluid. Hemodialysis typically involves sessions at a clinic multiple times a week, while peritoneal dialysis can often be done at home. Both methods help maintain a healthy balance of fluids and electrolytes, supporting overall body function.
