What is peritoneal dialysis (PD)?

PD uses a special solution (dialysate) and your own peritoneal membrane—the lining of your abdomen—as the filter to help clean the blood and remove excess fluids. This method is similar to regular kidney function insofar as the blood cleansing and fluid control is continuous inside your body.

Benefits of PD

PD at home increases flexibility, freedom, and independence while on dialysis. It can save you frequent trips to the hospital or clinic.
