What is Peritoneal Dialysis?

Peritoneal Dialysis is a kidney replacement therapy used to remove waste products and excess fluids from the body when the kidneys are unable to function adequately. Unlike hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter blood externally, peritoneal dialysis utilizes the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter.

A cleansing fluid called dialysate is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a surgically placed catheter. Waste products and excess fluids pass from the blood vessels in the abdominal lining into the dialysate, which is later drained and replaced with fresh solution.

Peritoneal dialysis offers flexibility and can often be performed at home, allowing patients greater independence while maintaining effective toxin removal and fluid balance.

Procedure Overview

Session Duration

30 to 40 Minutes per Exchange

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia for catheter placement

Hospital Stay

Same Day or 1–2 Days (for catheter insertion)

Treatment Frequency

Daily Exchanges (Manual or Automated)

*Cost varies depending on dialysis method, consumables used, hospital category, and patient condition.

How is Peritoneal Dialysis Performed?

The procedure is managed under nephrology supervision, often in an outpatient or home setting.

Step-by-step process

1. Catheter Placement
A soft catheter is surgically inserted into the abdomen.

2. Dialysate Infusion
Sterile dialysis fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity.

3. Dwell Time
The fluid remains in the abdomen, allowing waste and excess fluid transfer.

4. Drainage Phase
Used dialysate containing toxins is drained out.

5. Fluid Replacement
Fresh dialysate is infused to begin the next cycle.

6. Monitoring and Follow-Up
Regular check-ups ensure effective dialysis and prevent complications.

This structured approach allows continuous toxin removal while preserving lifestyle flexibility.
