Hemodialysis

What is Hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a medical treatment that helps to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood of people with kidney failure. It involves using a machine to filter the blood outside of the body and then returning the cleaned blood back into the body. Hemodialysis is typically done three times a week and each session can last for three to four hours.

Peritoneal Dialysis Market Report

According to a recent industry analysis, the U.S market for peritoneal dialysis is estimated to be worth $828 million in 2017 and is expected to reach $1.7 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. Peritoneal dialysis is another form of dialysis that involves using the lining of the abdomen to filter waste from the blood. It is a less invasive option than hemodialysis and can be done at home.

While hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are both effective treatments for kidney failure, the choice of treatment depends on the individual's medical condition, lifestyle, and personal preference. It is important for patients with kidney failure to discuss their options with their healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment.
