What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is a medical procedure that replaces the kidney’s function when they fail to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood effectively. It is required for patients with kidney failure or those experiencing severe kidney dysfunction.
There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter blood, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of your abdomen. The choice of method depends on the patient’s condition and the recommendation of their nephrologist.
Nephrology is the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating diseases of the kidney. It encompasses everything from managing chronic kidney disease to treating glomerulonephritis, hypertension, and electrolyte disorders.

1- How do dialysis patients die?
While dialysis can significantly extend the lives of patients with kidney failure, complications like infections, cardiovascular disease, or underlying health issues may lead to death in some cases.
2- When is dialysis required?
Dialysis is typically required when a patient’s kidneys are functioning at less than 10–15% of their normal capacity, or when there is severe accumulation of toxins and waste in the blood.
3- Which type of dialysis is best?
The best type of dialysis depends on the patient’s medical condition, lifestyle, and preferences. Hemodialysis is more common, while peritoneal dialysis offers greater flexibility for some patients.
4- What stage of kidney disease is dialysis?
Dialysis is typically initiated in Stage 5 kidney disease, also known as End-Stage Renal Disease, when the kidneys are no longer able to function effectively.
