Dialysis is for kidney failure. It takes over the job for many of the kidney functions, and cleans the blood from build up of waste when you can't remove the fluid yourself through urination. The kidneys direct the body to replace your red blood cells, and regulates the storage of Vitamin D. Protein is hard on kidneys that are failing, so a special diet is usually recommended. Once you are on dialysis, you will need more protein again. Dialysis is typically done 3 times a week and for about 4 hours per session. You can go to a dialysis center, or if you are able to manage it, use a dialysis machine at home. There is a type of dialysis that uses your own body to circulate the fluids that draw out the waste, called Peritoneal Dialysis.
