Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

PD is a needle-free treatment that you can perform at home during the day or even at night while you sleep by using the lining of the abdomen to filter waste from the blood. 

Some of the potential benefits of PD include:

• Control of your own treatment and a more-flexible schedule
• Functions more like natural kidneys
• Supports preservation of remaining kidney function, leading to better clinical outcomes

Home dialysis patients can dialyze from the comfort of home, giving them better control of their treatment schedules, more time for themselves, their families, their jobs and the activities they enjoyed before starting dialysis. 

If you currently dialyze in a center, home dialysis could potentially be an option for you. Learn about the types of dialysis you can perform at home and discuss with your physician.
