How is dialysis machine attached to body?

A dialysis machine is connected to the body through a vascular access point, typically located in the arm. This can be achieved using a fistula, which is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, or through a graft, which uses a synthetic tube to connect the two blood vessels. In some cases, a catheter may be placed in a large vein for temporary access. Blood is drawn from the body, filtered through the dialysis machine, and then returned to the body through these access points.
