Eating Well on Dialysis: Your Comprehensive Guide to a Healthy Diet.

Dialysis is a medical treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine to replace some of the kidney’s functions when they are no longer able to perform these tasks adequately. This is necessary for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or acute kidney injury. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter the blood outside the body, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter the blood.
