Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of dialysis: Dialysis is a medical procedure that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Identify the types of dialysis: There are two main types of dialysis - hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Define hemodialysis: Hemodialysis uses a machine called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, to filter the blood outside the body. The patient's blood is passed through the dialyzer, where it is cleaned and then returned to the body.

Define peritoneal dialysis: Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen, called the peritoneum, as a natural filter. A cleansing fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity and then drained out, carrying waste products with it.

Determine which type uses a dialyzer: Since hemodialysis involves the use of a dialyzer to filter the blood, it is the type of dialysis that fits the description in the problem.
