पेरिटोनियल डायलिसिस क्या है?

विस्तृत जानकारी

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an alternative to hemodialysis that can be performed at home. A catheter is surgically placed in the abdomen, and dialysate solution is infused into the peritoneal cavity. Waste products and excess fluid pass from the blood vessels in the peritoneum into the dialysate through diffusion and osmosis. After a dwell period (typically 4-6 hours for CAPD, or automated cycles overnight for APD), the used dialysate is drained and replaced. PD offers greater lifestyle flexibility but requires patient training and strict hygiene to prevent peritonitis.
