What is Peritoneal Dialysis?

​Peritoneal Dialysis is a type of home-based treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It uses a cleansing fluid and your abdominal lining (peritoneum) to filter waste from your blood. It’s a gentler, more flexible alternative to traditional hemodialysis — and with our help, it’s now easier and safer than ever to do it at home.

 

CAPD – Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

  • This is a manual form of peritoneal dialysis.

  • Patients perform fluid exchanges by hand, typically 4–5 times a day.

  • No machine is needed.

  • Each exchange takes about 30–40 minutes.

  • It's done while awake and allows for more flexibility during nighttime.

​​​

APD – Automated Peritoneal Dialysis

  • This uses a machine (cycler) to perform the fluid exchanges.

  • It's usually done overnight while you sleep, making it more convenient for many people.

  • The machine automatically fills and drains the dialysis fluid on a set schedule.

  • It’s ideal for patients who prefer fewer interruptions during the day.

​

​Both methods are equally effective — the choice depends on your medical needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences (often discussed with your nephrologist and dialysis team).

​

What’s the Difference Between Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis?

​​

Both Hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are treatments for kidney failure—they help remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body when the kidneys can no longer do so.

​

Here’s how they differ:

 

Hemodialysis (HD)

  • How it works:
    Blood is removed from your body, filtered through a dialysis machine (called a dialyzer), and then returned to your bloodstream.

  • Where it's done:
    Usually at a dialysis clinic or hospital, but it can be done at home with the right setup and training.

  • Frequency:
    Typically 3 times a week, with each session lasting about 3–5 hours.

  • Involves:
    A vascular access point (usually in the arm) where needles are inserted to connect to the machine.

  • Key benefit:
    Fast and effective at removing waste in shorter sessions.

 

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

  • How it works:
    A cleansing fluid is introduced into your abdomen through a catheter. The lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) acts as a natural filter to remove waste. The fluid is later drained and replaced.

  • Where it's done:
    Almost always done at home, often overnight or several times a day.

  • Frequency:
    Daily—either manually throughout the day (CAPD) or using a machine at night (APD).

  • Involves:
    A permanent catheter placed in your abdominal cavity.

  • Key benefit:
    More flexibility and independence; can be easier to travel with.    ​
