Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a treatment that uses your body’s own peritoneum, the lining of your abdomen, as a natural filter. A cleaning solution through a catheter removes waste and toxins without relying on traditional hemodialysis. This gives patients more flexibility in how and where they receive care.
The process involves filling the abdomen with dialysate, allowing it to dwell, and draining it before beginning a new cycle. Depending on your physician’s assessment, this can be done multiple times throughout the day. South Belt Kidney Center creates PD care plans that support independence while ensuring health remains a priority.
Here are the key benefits of peritoneal dialysis:
- Greater flexibility to maintain your daily schedule
- The ability to perform treatment in a clean, private space
- Reduced the need for frequent trips to a dialysis center
- Personalized care plans based on your doctor’s assessment
- Increased sense of control over treatment and lifestyle
