Renal dialysis, also known as kidney dialysis or simply dialysis, is a medical procedure used to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly. This life-saving treatment is typically required for individuals suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure. Renal dialysis can be performed in two primary ways: hemodialysis, where a machine filters blood outside the body, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter blood inside the body. Both methods help patients with compromised kidney function manage their health and maintain quality of life.

The United States is home to numerous dialysis centers, which are essential for providing lifesaving renal dialysis treatments to patients with kidney failure. This article lists some of the most well-known dialysis centers across the country.
