PD uses a cleaning solution, called dialysate, that flows through a special tube into your abdomen. After a few hours, the dialysate gets drained from your abdomen, taking the wastes from your blood with it. Then you fill your abdomen with fresh dialysate and the cleaning process begins again. This treatment can be done at home, at your workplace, or at another convenient location (See dialysis and hemodialysis.).
A home dialysis method. Dialysate flows directly into patients abdominal cavity . See also CAPD, CCPD.
Cleaning the blood by using the lining of the abdominal cavity as a filter. A cleansing liquid, called dialysis solution, is drained from a bag into the abdomen. Fluids and wastes flow through the lining of the cavity and remain "trapped" in the dialysis solution. The solution is then drained from the abdomen, removing the extra fluids and wastes from the body. There are two main types of peritoneal dialysis: CAPD and CCPD.
A form of dialysis in which the blood is cleaned inside the patient's body, using the peritoneum (a natural membrane that lines the wall of the abdomen) as a filter.
a process that removes wastes from your body using your peritoneal membrane (in your belly) as a filter
Peritoneal dialysis is a method used to filter the blood when the kidneys are not working properly. It involves passing a special fluid into the body's abdomen. The waste products pass from the blood, through a membrane lining the inside of the abdomen, into the special fluid, which can then be drained from the body. One type of peritoneal dialysis is continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This does not require a machine, and it may be a possible approach for some mobile individuals. Another type of peritoneal dialysis is intermittent peritoneal dialysis, which is used in immobile individuals.
A process in which dialysate is put into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal membrane in the abdomen functions in the same way as the membrane in the artificial kidney.
removing bodily waste by passing fluid through hollow abdominal space called the peritoneum. This procedure can be performed at home. The procedure takes approximately 10 hours, and is often done while the patient is asleep.
Solutions that are intermittently introduced and removed from the peritoneum (thin layer of irregular tissue that lines the abdominal cavity) to cleanse the blood of waste products.
A method of filtering the blood by filling the abdominal cavity with a fluid called dialysate.
A method of dialysis for patients with kidney failure in which fluids are pumped into the abdomen resulting in the removal of wastes from the blood; peritoneal dialysis can be done in the home as opposed to hemodialysis which must be done at a hospital or clinic. Jump to Top
Treatment for kidney failure in which dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity to remove wastes and water from the blood.
A form of dialysis in which the lining of the abdomen, the peritoneal membrane, acts as a natural filter.
Dialysis in which the blood is purified by flushing the abdominal cavity with a dilute salt solution.
A form of dialysis where the blood is cleaned within the peritoneal cavity.
Cleaning the blood by using the lining of the belly (abdomen) as a filter. A cleansing solution, called dialysate, is drained from a bag into the belly. Fluids and wastes flow through the lining of the belly and remain "trapped" in the dialysate. The dialysate is then drained from the belly, removing the extra fluids and wastes from the body. There are three types of peritoneal dialysis.
A way to clean the blood of people who have kidney disease. See also: Dialysis.
a form of dialysis in which the blood is cleaned inside the person’s body, using the Peritoneum as a filter. See also: An introduction to peritoneal dialysis
A mechanical procedure used to remove the excess toxin's and waste products from the blood. First, a soft plastic tube called a catheter is surgically inserted into the abdominal cavity (belly). During dialysis, the tube is used to fill the abdominal cavity with a special fluid called dialysis solution. This solution contains dextrose, a sugar that pulls wastes and extra body fluid into the abdominal cavity. The walls of the abdominal cavity have a thin lining called the peritoneum, which filters waste products from the bloodstream into the dialysis solution. When the filtering process is finished, the dialysis solution is drained out of the abdominal cavity through the catheter.
A form of dialysis that uses the body's own peritoneal cavity to hold dialysate fluid. The peritoneal membrane acts like a filter to allow toxins, excess chemicals, and fluid to move into dialysate. Peritoneal dialysis "exchanges" fresh dialysate for used dialysate, often several times a day. Exchanges can be done by the patient (see CAPD) or by a machine (see CCPD), or in some cases both types of exchanges are combined to help the patient get enough dialysis. Combination therapy may be called " PD Plus."

In peritoneal dialysis, the blood is cleaned inside the body in the abdomen in the peritoneal cavity, which is lined by a thin membrane called the peritoneum that surrounds the intestines and other internal organs. This cavity is filled with dialysis fluid that enters the body through a permanently implanted catheter. Excess water and wastes pass through the peritoneum into the dialysis fluid, which is then drained from the body and discarded. The process is repeated from three to five times a day. This treatment can be performed without assistance, either at home or at work.

Fluids and wastes flow through the lining of the abdomen and remain "trapped" in the dialysate. The dialysate is then drained from the abdomen, removing the extra fluids and wastes from the body. Typically, peritoneal dialysis can be performed by the patient at home.
One of two major forms of renal dialysis. Dialysis occurs inside the patient's peritoneum.
Method of artificial detoxication in which a toxic substance from the body is transferred into liquid that is instilled into the peritoneum. Thus, the employment of the peritoneum surrounding the abdominal cavity as a dialysing membrane for the purpose of removing waste products or toxins accumulated as a result of renal failure.
Uses the lining around the interstitial tract and is an effective dialysis method for kidney failure but is not effective in removing oxalate.
technique that uses the patient's own body tissues inside of the belly (abdominal cavity) to act as a filter to remove waste products and excess water from the body
A dialysis modality where the blood is purified, whereby the patients peritoneum serves as membrane /filter.
An alternative to kidney dialysis.
In medicine, peritoneal dialysis is a method for removing waste such as urea and potassium from the blood, as well as excess fluid, when the kidneys are incapable of this (i.e. in renal failure). It is a form of renal dialysis, and is thus a renal replacement therapy.
