Dialysis
A brief digest about this topic
When your kidneys are healthy, they clean your blood. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work your kidneys used to do. Unless you have a kidney transplant, you will need a treatment called dialysis.
There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Both types filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt and water. Hemodialysis does that with a machine. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneal membrane, to filter your blood. Each type has both risks and benefits. They also require that you follow a special diet. Your doctor can help you decide the best type of dialysis for you.

After completing his medical degree at Georgetown University, Richman moved
to his native home of Los Angeles to complete his general surgery residency at
the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine. He then
completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at Jackson
Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami.
Having performed nearly 1,000 cardiac bypass procedures throughout his
career, Richman has always maintained a strong interest in the preventative
aspect of cardiac care, namely cholesterol (lipid) management. As a
long-standing member of the National Lipid Association, Richman started The
Center for Cholesterol Management in August 2005 in order to focus exclusively
on preventative care and management for those who may be at risk for heart
disease.
The Center for Cholesterol Management provides state-of-the-art diagnosis
and treatment for patients with lipid disorders. This multi-disciplinary team
approach to lipid treatment comprises the efforts of physicians, nurses,
dietitians, and physical therapists to offer preventative and management care
for patients with high cholesterol, heart disease and those at risk for
developing coronary artery disease." /> Michael Richman, MD, FACS, FCCP Active Health Library, Doctor, Surgeon, and Physician
