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.
Temporary access devices are plastic tubes (catheters) which are inserted directly into a large vein. More permanent access is obtained by creating a high flow connection between an artery and a vein, typically in the patients arm, which can be hooked up quickly and easily to the dialysis machine.
