1. A hybrid hemodialysis (“

  • HD”

    )/peritoneal dialysis (“

    PD”

    ) system comprising;

    a reservoir;

    a weigh scale operably coupled with the reservoir;

    at least one controller programmed to run (i) an HD treatment in which blood is pumped to a blood compartment of a dialyzer, fresh HD dialysis fluid is pumped to a dialysis fluid compartment of the dialyzer, and used HD dialysis fluid is pumped from the dialysis fluid compartment of the dialyzer to the reservoir, and at a different time (ii) a PD treatment in which fresh PD dialysis fluid is pumped to a patient and used PD dialysis fluid is pumped from the patient to the reservoir;

    a dialysis fluid pumping unit fluidly connected to the reservoir;

    an HD cassette configured for connection to the dialysis fluid pumping unit to run at least the fresh and used HD dialysis fluid portion of (i); and

    a PD cassette configured for connection to the dialysis fluid pumping unit to run (ii), the PD cassette being interchangeable with the HD cassette for connection to the dialysis fluid pumping unit.
