Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneum, as a natural filter to clear wastes and excess fluid from your blood. It involves the infusion of dialysis fluid into the abdomen through a permanently placed catheter. The fluid absorbs waste products from blood vessels in your abdominal lining and is then drained away.

Home Dialysis Centers’ goal is to preserve as much of your remaining kidney function as possible. This is achieved using a holistic approach incorporating diet, medication, exercise, and incremental peritoneal dialysis exchanges. Once your kidney function has declined to the point of requiring dialysis, peritoneal dialysis is a great introduction modality.
