Frequently Asked Questions

Peritoneal Dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that removes waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform these functions. It uses the lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) as a natural filter. A special cleansing fluid called dialysate is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, and waste products pass from the bloodstream into the fluid. The fluid is then drained and replaced with fresh dialysate in a process called an exchange.

Peritoneal Dialysis is suitable for many individuals with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease, especially those who:

  • Prefer a home-based treatment option
  • Have a stable peritoneal membrane function
  • Want more flexibility in their daily schedule
  • Do not have significant abdominal issues or conditions that affect the peritoneum

Your healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences to determine if PD is right for you.

Peritoneal Dialysis offers several benefits, including:

  • Flexibility: PD can be done at home, work, or while traveling.
  • Schedule control: Patients can choose between Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), performed manually during the day, or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD), done overnight with a machine.
  • Gentler treatment: PD is continuous and avoids the rapid fluid and toxin removal seen in hemodialysis, which may cause fewer side effects.

While Peritoneal Dialysis is generally safe, potential risks include:

  • Peritonitis: An infection of the peritoneal cavity caused by contamination during exchanges. Symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, and cloudy dialysis fluid.
  • Catheter issues: Problems like blockage or displacement of the catheter.
  • Hernias: Increased abdominal pressure from the dialysate may lead to hernias.
  • Weight gain: The glucose in the dialysate can lead to weight gain over time.

Proper training, hygiene, and regular medical follow-ups can help minimize these risks.

Preparation for home-based Peritoneal Dialysis includes:

  • Catheter placement: A minor surgical procedure to insert a permanent catheter into your abdomen.
  • Training: Comprehensive education on how to perform exchanges, maintain hygiene, and monitor for complications.
  • Home setup: Creating a clean, organized space to store dialysis supplies and perform treatments.
  • Support system: Having a family member or caregiver trained to assist if needed.

Your dialysis team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable managing your care.
