Home Dialysis (Peritoneal Dialysis)

Home dialysis is a method of receiving dialysis overnight without having to go to a dialysis center three times a week. During peritoneal dialysis, a cleansing fluid will flow into your abdomen through a catheter and the lining of your abdomen will work as a filter to remove toxins, fluids, and salts from your blood due to your kidneys no longer being healthy enough to filter these substances themselves.
