what are different types of dialysis. Please tell in detail

Peritoneal Dialysis: Fluid put in the body that bad stuff from the blood is attracted to and then disposed of.

Hemo Dialysis: Blood taken out of the body into that fluid and disposed of and blood returned to your body.

That is it in general but since you asked for detailed:

Dialysis modalities

Each of the five modalities of dialysis offers different things—and you must choose the one that's right for you. We've outlined each modality below, and created a comparison chart to show the pluses and minuses of each modality so you can be sure you are choosing the best match.

* Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) - a manual form of peritoneal dialysis, with no machine
* Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) - also known as Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD), a form of peritoneal dialysis using a cycler at night
* Conventional home hemodialysis - three-times-a-week hemo at home
* Daily home hemodialysis - short (2-3 hour) treatments, 5-6 days a week
* Nocturnal home hemodialysis - nightly 6-8 hour treatments, 3+ days a week
