Dialysis is a medical procedure that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to do so. The procedure typically involves two main types: hemodialysis, where blood is filtered through a machine with a dialyzer, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter blood internally. The patient’s blood is accessed through a vascular access point for hemodialysis, while peritoneal dialysis involves the infusion of a sterile solution into the abdominal cavity. The procedure is usually performed on a scheduled basis, depending on the patient's needs.
