A medical procedure that removes waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood when kidneys fail.

Blood filtering using a machine and filter (dialyzer).

An artificial kidney; a filter in hemodialysis.

A way to get blood into and out of a machine in dialysis.

Using the abdominal lining to filter waste.

The cleansing fluid used in dialysis.

Manual peritoneal dialysis done throughout the day.

Severe kidney failure; a reason for dialysis.

A home-based dialysis treatment where a machine automatically performs fluid exchanges overnight.

Continuous dialysis for critically ill patients in the hospital, removing waste and fluids slowly.

The part of the dialysis machine where blood is filtered; contains many tiny fibers.

Part of the machine that moves blood through the dialyzer.

Administers heparin to prevent blood clots during dialysis.

Machine parts that track blood pressure, flow, and other factors, alerting to problems.

Adjusts the removal of extra fluid from the blood during dialysis.

Hemodialysis lets you precisely adjust how much fluid is removed to avoid complications like low blood pressure.

Blood is drawn from the patient, passed through a dialyzer (filter), and returned to the body.

A tube placed in the abdomen that allows dialysate fluid to enter and exit the peritoneal cavity for cleaning.

Dialysate fluid is infused into the abdominal cavity during peritoneal dialysis, helping exchange waste and fluids.

Hemodialysis is very efficient at removing waste and is done in a controlled medical setting.

Peritoneal dialysis offers more independence and flexibility, as it can be done at home.

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is gentle and provides continuous removal of waste for critical patients.

Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter blood outside the body, while peritoneal dialysis uses the abdominal lining to filter blood within the body.

A dialyzer is an artificial kidney used in hemodialysis. It filters waste and excess fluids from the blood.

The peritoneum is the lining of the abdomen, which acts as a natural filter in peritoneal dialysis.

Dialysate is the special cleansing solution used in both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Vascular access is a way to connect blood vessels to the dialysis machine in hemodialysis.

CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) is a type of peritoneal dialysis where the patient manually exchanges the dialysate 4-6 times a day.

Hemodialysis is more efficient at removing waste in a shorter time and is performed by healthcare professionals in a controlled setting.

It requires regular trips to a dialysis center and carries risks of infection and complications related to the vascular access.

APD is Automated Peritoneal Dialysis, where a machine does the work overnight. CAPD is Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, where exchanges are done manually throughout the day.

APD offers more freedom and flexibility, allowing you to sleep through most of the dialysis process, leading to fewer dietary restrictions and a less strenuous impact on the heart.

APD still requires consistent daily management and carries the risk of infection at the catheter site. It's also less effective at removing large amounts of waste quickly compared to hemodialysis.

Hemodialysis filters blood through a machine, while Peritoneal Dialysis utilizes your abdominal lining. Hemodialysis is more efficient, while PD offers greater independence.

Peritoneal Dialysis carries a risk of infection (peritonitis) and requires daily exchanges. It's also less effective at removing large amounts of waste quickly compared to hemodialysis.

The choice between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis depends on your medical needs, lifestyle preferences, and individualized medical advice.
