There are 2 types of dialysis: Hemo-dialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis. Hemo-dialysis requires the usage of a machine that can filter out the waste products directly from the blood while Peritoneal Dialysis places fluid called dialysate int the abdominal cavity that flushes out the waste and fluid.]]> 2018-04-14 00:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/umang_gill/dialysis/wish/251749314 umang_gill https://padlet.com/umang_gill/dialysis/wish/251752207 In this type, patients usually go in for treatment about 3 times a week for about 3 hours for the dialysis.
