TeachMeFinance.com - explain Dialysis Dialysis The term 'Dialysis ' as it applies to the area of Medicare in the United States can be defined as ' A process by which dissolved substances are removed from a patient's body by diffusion from one fluid compartment to another across a semi-permeable membrane. The two types of dialysis that are currently commonly in use are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis is a treatment that cleans your blood when your kidneys don't work. It gets rid of harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids that build up in your body. It also helps control blood pressure and helps your body keep the right amount of fluids. Dialysis treatments help you feel better and live longer, but they are not a cure for permanent kidney failure'.
