Dialysis is a medical process through which a person's blood is cleansed of the toxins the kidneys normally would flush out. It is generally used when a person's kidneys no longer function properly. This can be a result of congenital kidney disease, long-term diabetes, highblood pressure or other conditions. In my mom's case she suffered a long time medication for her high blood pressure.

Dr. Vista advice us that her kidney is failing and the cost of the medicine that they need to treat her kidney cost Php5,000 per bag; that bag od liquid solution is color yellow and very expensive. But that does not solve the problem and doctors advice ua for a peritoneal dialysis.
Peritoneal Dialysis is a process of cleaning the body by putting a tubing somewhere the patients belly then approximately 2x a day (or more) should we have to feed the tube with peritoneal solution for cleansing and after a certain number of minutes we need to flush it out from the tube. This proceedure is very costly and pretty tiresome.
After couple of months doctors advice us that she switch to Hemodialysis.
Haemodialysis (also hemodialysis) is a method for removing waste products such as creatinine and urea, as well as free water from the blood when the kidneys are in renal failure. This procedure is much convenient than peritoneal but the travel to the clinic and hospital is tiresome. Unlike Peritoneal the guardian of the patient is doing all the work but in hemodialysis the nurses are doing all the work.
