What types of dialysis are available?

There are two basic types of dialysis, Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis, with some variations within each modality. Hemodialysis patients receive dialysis through direct access with the blood, whereas peritoneal dialysis patients receive dialysis through an access placed in the lower abdomen. Each of these dialysis modalities can help patients feel better, leading to overall improved health, and a better quality and quantity of life. In our swing bed dialysis program, we commonly treat both chronic and acute kidney injury dialysis patients who are in need of rehabilitative or skilled nursing services. At Pawhuska Hospital Inc., we are pleased to offer both Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis services for the convenience of our swing bed patients and their families.
