The implantable dialysis access port assembly includes a first port including a first device for receiving a first needle of the dialysis machine, and a first connector and a second port including a second devices for receiving a second needle of the dialysis machine, and a second connector. A first catheter is connected to extend from the first connector and into a vein of the patient and a second catheter is connected to extend from the second connector and into the vein of the patient. The first and second ports are of different geometrical shapes and are readily detectable in position below the skin of the patient such that when the first needle is received by the first receiving device, the second needle is received by the second receiving device and the dialysis machine is turned on, blood is caused to be removed from the vein through the first catheter, the first port and the first needle for detoxification in the dialysis machine and returned to the vein through the second needle, the second port and the second catheter.
