Are there different types of dialysis? There are two kinds of dialysis. In hemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine, and returned to your body by tubes that connect you to the machine. In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter.

Some people choose to do a manual exchange, by performing four to five fill-and-drain exchanges per day depending on their lifestyle and dialysis needs.
