Dialysis is a procedure for reducing accumulated waste products in the Food on account of kidney failure when kidneys no longer can do it on their own sufficiently. It can be used both for acute and chronic kidney failure. It is primarily of 2 types namely Hemodialysis(blood & artificial membrane based)done with the help of a dialysis machine & can be done both at home or in the hospital. Although in the majority of centers in India it is done in Hospital setting. Other type is Peritoneal(Abdominal natural membrane based) also can be done both in the hospital and at home, & is a preferred modality by the people who want to do it at home. Both the dialyses are good for the patient requiring dialysis
