What is Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)?
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a form of dialysis that cleans the blood by removing waste products and excess fluid through the lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum). A dialysis solution is infused into the abdominal cavity through a permanently placed catheter. The peritoneum acts as a filter, allowing waste products and excess fluid to pass from the blood into the dialysis solution, which is then drained away.

Benefits of Peritoneal Dialysis at Home
Flexibility and Convenience
PD can be performed at home, work, or while traveling, offering a flexible schedule that doesn’t disrupt your daily life.
Greater Independence
Managing your treatment at home empowers you to take an active role in your care, fostering independence and self-reliance.
Personalized Care
Tailored to meet your individual health needs, PD allows for adjustments in treatment to better fit your lifestyle and medical requirements.
Comfort of Home
Receiving treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home can significantly enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.
Fewer Dietary Restrictions
Compared to hemodialysis, PD typically allows for a more liberal diet and fluid intake.
Gentler on the Body
PD is a continuous treatment, which mimics the natural kidney function more closely than hemodialysis, leading to fewer sudden changes in fluid and waste levels, and potentially fewer side effects.
