What are two types of dialysis?
There are two methods of dialysis in use: hemodialysis (blood dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis in the abdominal cavity). In hemodialysis, the dialysis membrane is made up of cellophane or other synthetic material that assists in the removal of impurities from the blood by their passage through these semipermeable membranes in a fluid bath. In peritoneal dialysis, the surface area of the peritoneum acts as the membrane. Dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and then periodically removed along with the waste products. This procedure may be done at intervals throughout the day or during the night.
What is the difference between a blood infusion and dialysis?
What is the difference between a blood transfusion and dialysis
What is the medical term meaning filtering and removal of body waste from the blood through the lining of the peritoneal cavity?
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)Peritoneal Dialysis, in case of impairment in kidney function
What happens in peritoneal dialysis?
peritoneal dialysis work on the same principle except abdomen has a peritoneal cavity, lined by a thin epithelium called as peritoneum. peritoneal cavity is filled with dialysis fluid that enters the body through a catheter. excess water and waste pass through the peritoneum into the dialysis fluid. this process is repeated several times in a day.
Does dialysis require energy?
Yes, dialysis does require energy. Please refer online to dialysis and blood transfusion. This might help.
What is the medical term meaning removal of waste from the blood through a fluid exchange in the abdominal cavity?

Polyvinyl chloride(pvc)
What is a sentence for transfusion?
transfusion is required for you. Or you will die.
Why Blood cannot flow out during dialysis process?
during dialysis the blood is is flowin through a closed system
Peritioneal dialysis is used for people suffering from what?
Peritoneal dialysis, like other forms of dialysis, are used for people suffering from renal failure or acute renal insufficiency. On other words, people whose kidneys have stopped functiong properly or are suddenly overwhelmed past their filtering capabilities. Dialysis as most people know it involves running the blood through an artificial membrane which replaces the kidney's filtering mechanism, then returning the blood back into the body. Peritoneal dialysis works on the same principle, except the membrane used is not an artificial membrane, rather a membrane found naturally in the body called the peritoneal membrane. This membrane is what encases most of your abdominal contents (liver, intestines, gall bladder, etc...) Peritoneal dialysis works by filling the peritoneal cavity (the space enclosed by the peirtoneal membrane) with what is essentially a sugar solution. This solution pulls waste products out of your blood and into the peritoneal cavity. This solution is allowed to sit within the cavity for varying amounts of time (anywhere from 40 minutes to several hours), and then the solution is drained (and along with it, all those waste products).
