Understanding Dialysis

There are two kinds of dialysis – hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Hemodialysis is a type of dialysis where an artificial kidney (called hemodialyzer) helps to remove toxins, electrolytes (potassium, bicarbonate) & excessive fluid from the body. For this, the doctor needs to do a small surgery in either leg or arm, to get access to your blood vessels. Sometimes, the access is also made by joining an artery to a vein under the skin called the AV fistula. In case the fistula is not made, the doctor uses a plastic tube to complete the process called the AV graft. Two of the most important benefits of in-center dialysis are that Trained, Experienced kidney care professionals administer treatment and there is an opportunity to interact with other patients and staff. It requires a patient to spend at least 3 to 4 hours (at least twice a week), at the center to undergo dialysis, during which they can read, watch television, use a laptop, talk to others, etc.

Peritoneal Dialysis is a type of dialysis where one’s blood gets cleaned with the help of a specialized fluid kept inside the abdominal cavity. Here the doctor does surgery to insert a plastic tube (called a catheter) to your belly and makes a Then through a catheter, the abdominal area gets filled with dialysate fluid, and excess fluid and wastes are then extracted out of the blood into the dialysate via diffusion, filtration and convection gradients. It significantly differs from hemodialysis in the way it filters blood. The lining of the abdomen – it’s called peritoneum and hence the name peritoneal dialysis which acts as a filter and removes waste products from the blood. After a set period of time, the fluid with the filtered waste products is emptied out of the abdomen.

Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home, at work, or even while traveling. Peritoneal dialysis requires the patients to care for themselves or they need a reliable caregiver.
