Hi doctors, can you tell me what is hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?

Long discussion!: Each is a modality of kidney replacement therapy. Hemo uses a blood vessel access (fistula, graft, or catheter) getting portion of your blood at a time out and into a sterile machine through a filter to clean all the toxins and return it to you,3 times a wk,3-4 hrs each time.Peritoneal done at home 8-10 hr/d manually or by a cycler no blood involved using your abdominal cavity membrane as a filter
