What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is a procedure in which the blood is filtered mechanically without the help of the kidneys. The main function of kidneys is to eliminate waste material from the blood and to maintain fluid balance in the body. If the kidneys are not functioning properly then Dialysis will take over the function of the failed kidneys. There are two types of Dialysis:
Hemodialysis:
In this process, the blood is circulated outside the body. A filter is used to eliminate the waste products from the blood. The Dialysis machine used in this process is called hemodialyzer.
Peritoneal Dialysis:
In this process, the blood is filtered with the help of the peritoneal catheter and a solution called dialysate.
Peritoneal Dialysis is of two types:
In Continuous ambulatory peritoneal Dialysis, the dialyzing machine is not used and the dialysate is left the whole night in the stomach. While in Automated peritoneal dialysis a machine called cycler is used which will fill and empty the stomach with the dialysate for 3 to 5 times at night and you can begin your day with fresh dialysate in your stomach.
