Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneum in a person's abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood.[1][2] It is used to remove excess fluid, correct electrolyte problems, and remove toxins in those with kidney failure.[3] Peritoneal dialysis has better outcomes than hemodialysis during the first two years.[4] Other benefits include greater flexibility and better tolerability in those with significant heart disease.[4]
