Continuous Cycle Peritoneal (abdomen) Dialysis; at night continuous cycling.
Stands for "continuous cycling (cyclic) peritoneal dialysis." Dialysis happens inside the body, using the peritoneal membrane as a filter. A machine performs the peritoneal dialysis solution exchanges in regular cycles. Also generally known as Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD).
continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis. A form of peritoneal dialysis that uses a machine, or cycler. This machine automatically fills and drains the dialysis solution from the abdomen. A typical CCPD schedule involves three to five exchanges during the night while the person sleeps. The person using CCPD may have one dwell that lasts the entire day or perform additional exchanges during the day.

During the day, the person using CCPD performs one exchange with a dwell time that lasts the entire day.
Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis. A form of dialysis that uses a cycling machine to infuse and drain dialysate from the peritoneal cavity several times during the night while the patient sleeps.
Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis. Form of continuous peritoneal dialysis in which a machine called an automatic cycler performs regular exchanges throughout the night
Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis. A recently developed form of peritoneal dialysis that combines nightly use of a machine to cycle the dialysate in and out of the peritoneal cavity and daytime use of ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
