Are there different types of dialysis? There are two kinds of dialysis. In hemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine, and returned to your body by tubes that connect you to the machine. In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter.
Peritoneal dialysis uses a fluid that is placed into the patient's stomach cavity through a special plastic tube to remove excess waste products and fluid from the body. During hemodialysis, blood passes from the patient's body through a filter in the dialysis machine, called a dialysis membrane.. For this procedure, the patient has a specialized plastic tube placed between an artery and a vein in the arm or leg (called a gortex graft).
