What is Peritoneal Dialysis or PD Dialysis ?
How does Peritoneal Dialysis differ from Hemodialysis?
Peritoneal dialysis is an alternative to hemodialysis.
In hemodialysis, the end stage renal disease patient's blood is removed through a fistula or catheter, the blood is run through a dialysis machine containing the exchange fluid, called dialysate, and then the cleansed blood is returned to the patient through the fistula or catheter.
Peritoneal dialysis takes advantage of the lining that stretches around the organs in the abdomen, and around the inside of the abdominal cavity itself. This abdominal wall lining is a type of membrane, called the peritoneal membrane. Salts, sugar and fluid can pass through this membrane between the abdominal cavity and the blood circulation of the organs.
In PD, the dialyzing fluid or dialysate, is infused into the abdominal cavity through a permanently inserted catheter. Waste products flow from the organs' circulation into the abdominal cavity and then the dialysate is removed and replenished.
Peritoneal dialysis can be performed continuously (CAPD or Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) or at night alone.
One of the complications of peritoneal dialysis is an infection introduced through the catheter. This infection of the abdominal cavity is called peritonitis.
The choice of type of dialysis, whether peritoneal or hemodialysis,
is a decision made mutually by the patient with ESRD and the patient's providers, taking into account lifestyle factors as well as the patient's response to dialysis and overall medical condition.

Learn about dialysis options from a Home Dialysis Therapy Nurse: “YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD”
Author: Christina Brooks BSN, RN
Home Therapies Nurse
So, you’ve just left your doctor’s office and your head is full of information, too much information! Words , numbers, medical terms you just don’t understand. Maybe this has been happening gradually over a period of years or suddenly out of the blue. Your doctor has just told you that you have kidney disease or kidney failure. Acute! Chronic! CKD! ESRD! STAGE 4! Stage 5! GFR! Oh my, what is the doctor talking about? This can’t be happening to me! I can’t live without my kidneys, can I? Does this mean that I’m going to die? I refuse to be tied to a machine and have needles stuck in me. I’m probably too old for a transplant. They give kidneys to young people, not someone like me. What am I going to do now? I thought I had the rest of my life ahead of me. Looks like it’s all over now.....
