Learn About Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)


Why choose Peritoneal Dialysis?

PD is dialysis therapy on your own terms. It uses one of your body’s own membranes– the peritoneal membrane–as a filter to clean your blood when your kidneys no longer can. PD can be done at home, saving you from making multiple trips to and from a clinic every week. It can even be done while you sleep, freeing up more time for daily activites. 

Here are some resources for making PD a part of your dialysis journey.
