What is Dialysis about?

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that uses the peritoneal membrane in the abdomen to filter waste from the blood. During peritoneal dialysis, a fluid called dialysate is introduced into the peritoneal cavity through a catheter, where it absorbs waste and toxins before being drained out. This process can be done at home or while traveling, unlike hemodialysis which requires visits to a dialysis center. The risks of peritoneal dialysis include infection and bleeding at the catheter site.
