Inpatient and Outpatient Dialysis

Inpatient dialysis care takes place in a hospital setting, with the possibility of an overnight stay if advised by a medical professional. In most cases, patients come in three times per week for dialysis to treat their blood. 

While outpatient dialysis services are delivered in a private setting to ensure the patient’s comfort while undergoing treatment. An outpatient dialysis team composed of a nephrologist, dialysis nurses, and other medical professionals who develop individualized treatment plans for patients. However, both inpatient and outpatient can take place in an hospital setting.

Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis 

Hemodialysis is a type of dialysis that involves cleaning the blood using a specially designed machine that pumps the blood through an artificial kidney or dialyzer. Patients undergo hemodialysis by pumping blood through a dialysis access point (usually in the arm) into a dialyzer.  After removing waste products from the body, the cleansed blood is returned to the body. Hemodialysis patients undergo dialysis 1 to 3 times a week.  

Peritoneal dialysis is another type of home dialysis that removes waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly. The main difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is that hemodialysis requires a machine to filter the blood while peritoneal dialysis does not. The lining of the belly is used as a natural filter for blood instead of a machine during peritoneal dialysis.
