Dialysis is a medical treatment that serves as a substitute for the normal functions of the kidneys, specifically in filtering and removing waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the bloodstream when the kidneys are not functioning properly. It is primarily used for patients with chronic or acute kidney failure.

Who needs dialysis?

People with kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may need dialysis. Accidents and illnesses like diabetes, lupus, high blood pressure, and others can cause kidney damage. Some people may have kidney problems for unidentified reasons. Kidney failure can occur suddenly (acutely) as a result of a major disease or accident, or it can occur gradually over time. This type of renal failure may resolve as you recover.

Which type of Dialysis is Best?

You might be able to choose where and what kind of dialysis you get. Both approaches have their own benefits and drawbacks, but for most users, they are equally effective.
Hemodialysis at home, for instance, usually requires more frequent dialysis treatments than in a clinic, but you can select a treatment plan that works for you and your schedule. Hemodialysis allows you to skip four days of treatment each week, but the treatments are lengthier and you might have to go to the hospital each time. Although peritoneal dialysis is easy to administer at home and sometimes while you sleep, it needs to be done every day. Your care team will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each option with you to help you make a decision if you are allowed to choose the type of dialysis you get.
