Treatments that take over the work of failed kidneys by filtering the blood or using the lining of the abdomen, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home and nocturnal dialysis, hemofiltration and continuous renal replacement therapy, with the surgically made fistula used for access. An entry belongs here when its own source describes kidney replacement. It excludes blood transfusion. Each member is a renal and transfusion therapy entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
