PERITONEAL DIALYSIS (PD)

Program Overview

Peritoneal Dialysis is used when patients experience kidney failure. A tube or catheter is placed into the peritoneum and fluid may be instilled, absorbing extra fluid the patient may have, and then drained into a bag to allow clearance of electrolytes and byproducts. This instill, dwell, and drain of dextrose containing solution can occur over several days or overnight until the kidneys recover or until a transplant is available.
