The present disclosure relates to a therapy subsystem for a dialysis system. The therapy subsystem is configured to receive data from a tilt sensor that detects a tilt angle of the dialysis system with respect to a horizontal plane and to pause a dialysis therapy by pausing fluid pumping by the dialysis system if the tilt angle exceeds a pre-determined threshold value. The therapy subsystem is configured to monitor the tilt angle, and in an auto recoverable tilt condition to resume dialysis therapy if the tilt angle decreases to less than the pre-determined threshold value. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method of automatically recovering from a tilt condition in a dialysis system.
