*Hemodialysis (HD)*
In hemodialysis, blood is drawn from the body and filtered through a dialysis machine (artificial kidney) before being returned to the bloodstream. The process is typically performed at a hospital or dialysis center *two to three times a week*. It effectively removes waste but may cause fatigue or blood pressure fluctuations.
*Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)*
Peritoneal dialysis, on the other hand, uses the *peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen)* as a natural filter. A special dialysis solution is introduced into the abdominal cavity, where it absorbs toxins and is later drained. PD can be done at home, offering *greater flexibility* and a more continuous cleansing process.
Both dialysis types serve as a life-saving bridge for those with kidney failure, ensuring a better quality of life until a kidney transplant is possible. 🚑
When kidneys fail to function properly, dialysis becomes essential to remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. There are two main types of dialysis: *Hemodialysis (HD) and Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)*.
