Actually there are 2 types of dialysis: hemo and peritoneal. Hemo is more restrictive, but peritoneal is not so aggressive on the body and allows for more independence of the patient. Check here:

Dude, you already asked this, and you got a few good responses. Here's mine again in case you missed it:
Kidneys serve 3 basic functions: remove excess fluid, filter out waste and excess electrolytes, and produce hormones. When a person is in kidney failure, their kidneys only only able to do a minimal amount of those 3 things.
Dialysis machines remove excess fluid and remove waste and excess electrolytes.
In dialysis the patient's blood is taken out of the body (2 cups worth at any one time) and put back in using 2 needles and bloodlines. It creates a loop of blood, and in the middle of that loop is the dialysis machine and a dialyzer. A dialyzer is a filter for the blood. Within the dialyzer, or filter, is where fluid and waste are removed.
Most patients have treatments 3 times a week for 4 hours each.

tubes are inserted into the veins ( 2 tubes )...
blood is pumped out of the body through one tube, into a machine that cleans it ( doing the job of your kidneys )....and then pumps it back into your body through the other tube.
it takes a few hours.......
