The abdomen is filled with special solutions that help remove toxins. The solutions remain in the abdomen for a time, and then are drained out. This form of dialysis can be performed at home, but must be done every day. HEMODIALYSIS

Hemodialysis is the most common type of dialysis. Learn about it with this slide show:
Dialysis removes waste and balances the electrolyte and fluid level of the blood. These tasks are usually performed by the kidneys. However, when the kidneys can no longer do their job sufficiently, or when they are removed, dialysis is an artificial way to mimic their function. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Learn about hemodialysis in this slide show.
