Dialysis Therapy

Dialysis therapy is a medical treatment that helps people with kidney failure filter waste, excess fluids, and toxins from their blood. Since their kidneys can’t perform this function, dialysis artificially removes these harmful substances. The two main types are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis uses a machine and a filter, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to cleanse the blood. Patients generally undergo this therapy multiple times a week to maintain their health until they can receive a kidney transplant or find other treatments. It’s a crucial procedure for managing kidney disease.
