Benefits of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

Feel Better
PD is all day or night—not just 3 times a week. You won’t feel wiped out or tired after an exchange.
Spend More Time with Loved Ones
You won’t need to spend much time at the dialysis clinic except for monthly visits.
Be on the go
You can do PD at home, at work, or while you travel. Supplies can be shipped free in the continental U.S. A cycler can go with you, even on an airplane.
Feel in Control
PD puts you in the driver’s seat.
Keep Current Kidney Function
PD works with you to retain current kidney function.
Keep my Job
Fit your PD into your day or do it while you sleep. PD is work-friendly.
Protect Your Heart
Blood pressure is more likely to stay at a safe level when you do PD than with standard HD. PD is gentler on your heart because the treatment is slow and done every day.
