The critical feature of PD is its use of the peritoneum, a natural membrane that lines the inside of the abdominal cavity. This membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier, exchanging fluids and waste products between the blood vessels in the abdominal lining and a specially prepared dialysis solution.<\/p>\n<p>This type of dialysis can be performed manually or with the help of a machine known as a cycler. <a href=\"https:\/\/innovativerenal.com\/patient\/dialysis-treatment\/peritoneal-dialysis\/\">Peritoneal dialysis<\/a> provides greater flexibility and is performed at home. It is a suitable option for many individuals with kidney disease who wish to avoid frequent visits to a dialysis center. However, it requires a dedicated care routine and close monitoring to ensure effectiveness and safety.
