This approach empowers patients to manage their health more independently, with support from Innovative Renal Care specialists and a trusted care partner.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are two main types of home dialysis available to patients. Home hemodialysis, also known as HHD, filters blood outside the body using a dialyzer. Peritoneal dialysis, also known as PD, uses the body&#8217;s own peritoneum as a natural filter. This blog explains how each works, how they differ, and what to expect when getting started.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What Is Home Hemodialysis (HHD)?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Home hemodialysis works the same way as in-center hemodialysis. Your blood is filtered and cleaned outside your body using an artificial kidney called a dialyzer. The dialyzer\u00a0eliminates\u00a0excess fluids, toxins, and other waste products that your kidneys can no longer remove on their own. Once your blood is cleaned, it is returned to your body.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">How Often Is HHD Performed?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HHD can be performed in two\u00a0different ways:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Conventional HHD is performed three times a week for three to four hours or more per session based on your prescription<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Short daily HHD can be offered more\u00a0frequently, such as 4 to 6 times a week for shorter time periods<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Shorter and more frequent dialysis sessions help reduce symptoms of headaches, nausea, cramping, and feeling washed out after treatment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nocturnal Hemodialysis<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/innovativerenal.com\/patient\/dialysis-treatment\/nocturnal-dialysis\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nocturnal hemodialysis<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0is another form of HHD performed while you sleep. Most patients do this kind of dialysis 5 to 6 nights a week or every other night for\u00a0approximately six\u00a0to eight hours, depending on your doctor&#8217;s prescription and your normal sleep patterns.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What Is Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Peritoneal dialysis is another\u00a0option\u00a0for patients looking for more flexibility and convenience. Unlike hemodialysis, which requires filtering blood outside the body through a dialyzer, peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneum as a natural filter. The peritoneum is a membrane lining inside the abdominal cavity.

This type of dialysis can be done at home, at work, or while you travel.
