Peritoneal dialysis is the type of dialysis that places dialysis fluid in the space of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and then extracts and filters it. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, uses an artificial kidney machine to filter the blood outside the body, while urinalysis and cystoscopy are tests used to examine the urine and the bladder, respectively. Lithotripsy is a procedure used to break up kidney stones with high-energy shock waves.
