Peritoneal Dialysis
Talk with your doctor or a ºìÌÒÊÓƵ¸ßÇåappÏÂÔØ representative about the potential benefits of peritoneal dialysis.
What is peritoneal dialysis?
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a gentle therapy that is closest to the way kidneys naturally work. People who consult with their kidney doctor and choose PD can dialyze any time of day and can usually do treatments with little or no help from others. There are many potential benefits to PD, such as fewer dietary restrictions and a more flexible treatment schedule – giving you more time to do the things you love.
Your Life on PD
You’re in control.
One of the greatest potential benefits of PD is the flexibility to treat when it’s most convenient for you. Whether you want to dialyze in the morning or evening, with a machine or via a manual transfer, PD allows you to take control of your own treatment, while still following your plan of care. With in-depth training from your care team and guidance from your kidney doctor, you may begin to see your quality of life improve like many other ºìÌÒÊÓƵ¸ßÇåappÏÂÔØ® peritoneal dialysis patients have.
