There are also dialysis programs where it can be done at home. the machines are easy to work and th e person has a "port" (a permanent IV tube surgecally placed in the body) so that that the person just needs to open the plug and put in the machine tube. it works for an hour placing a chemical fluid into the body which will clean the blood. then latter that night the person reopens the plug puts the machine tube in and the machine removes the toxin filled chemical fluid. The person can continue on with their day.

The home machines can also do longer term dialysis where the person sits watching tv reading whatever and the machine pumps thier blood out of the body through the vchemicals in the machine which removes the toxins from the blood and then pumps the blood back into t he persons body. the same way that when people dopnate plasma and whole blood at blood donation places at hospitals, red cross and other agencys that are in the communitys where they pay people to donate plasma and whole blood for $10 a visit.

Its not painful but sometimes tiring. Those that I know that are going though the process say they prefer the home dialysis over the going to a hospital and doing it in the outpatient room and they sometimes sleep for a few hours afterwards but for the most part continue on with their days like normal afterwards.
