Re: DialysisPeritoneal 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 For more information just do a search for "5 types of home dialysis"
