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.
The dialysis machine pumps your blood through the dialysis system and controls the treatment time, temperature, fluid removal and pressure. This basic process is the same for home hemodialysis, except that you and a care partner are trained to do your treatment at home.
