Peritoneal dialysis is an effective form of dialysis, and has been proven to be as good as hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is not for everyone.

In recent years, there have been some interesting advances in the science and practice of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Standard peritoneal solutions must be manufactured in a way that the product will remain stable with a practicable shelf life. Because the solution is very high in glucose, a major byproduct of this solution is the formation of glucose degradation products (GDP).
Indeed, the survival rate for patients treated with PD is now equivalent to that with in-center hemodialysis. In parallel, changes in public policy have spurred an unprecedented expansion in the use of PD in many parts of the world.
Meanwhile, an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in solute and water transport across the peritoneum and of the pathobiology of structural and functional changes in the peritoneum with long-term PD has provided new targets for improving efficiency and for intervention.
Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of chronic and acute kidney failures in the elderly population and the increasing demand for home PD treatment and automated PD are expected to increase the traction of the PD market.
Notably, tremendous progress has been made in developing interventions that substantially reduce the risk of PD-related peritonitis. Yet the gains have been unequal among individual centers, primarily because of unequal clinical application of knowledge gained from research. The work to date has further highlighted the areas in need of innovation as we continue to strive to improve the health and outcomes of patients treated with PD.
Peritoneal dialysis is an effective form of dialysis and has been proven to be as good as hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is not for everyone. People must receive training and be able to perform correctly each of the steps of the treatment. A trained helper may also be used.
It is done more continuously than hemodialysis, resulting in less accumulation of potassium, sodium, and fluid. This allows patients to have a more flexible diet than could have on hemodialysis. Longer lasting residual kidney function.
Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home, at work, or while traveling. Hemodialysis is typically done in a health care setting, such as a dialysis center or hospital, though it can sometimes be done at home. So peritoneal dialysis is more convenient than hemodialysis.
Although both types of dialysis can effectively filter blood, people who use peritoneal dialysis might retain kidney function slightly longer than people who use hemodialysis.
Patients getting hemodialysis usually need treatments three times a week. Each treatment takes around four hours. While this may be inconvenient, many patients with low kidney function benefit from hemodialysis.
A peritoneal dialysis is a good option for patients that meet certain health requirements and want fewer restrictions than they’d have with hemodialysis.
