Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a kidney replacement therapy for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Unlike hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter blood outside the body, PD utilizes the lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter. This form of dialysis is performed at home.
Patients with ESRD can choose to undergo either Hemodialysis (HD) or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). PD is preferred over HD in the following circumstances:
PD may not be a good option for patients who have had multiple prior abdominal or pelvic surgeries or who have active infections or cancers in the abdomen. PD is done at home, so the patient or caregiver will need to go through a training period during which PD nurses teach the dialysis steps and aseptic technique.
PD requires the surgical placement of a tube in the abdomen. Usually, about 2-3 weeks after surgery, dialysis can be started.
There are two forms of PD: CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis), which is a manual form of PD, and APD (Automated Peritoneal Dialysis), which involves the use of a PD machine.
There are several potential complications. Examples of more common complications include:
| Hemodialysis | Peritoneal Dialysis |
Advantages | No training required No work-load for patient/caregiver Regular monitoring by medical staff Covered by insurance | More flexibility with dialysis schedule Independence from a center Lower communicable infection risk Gentler for the heart Fewer dietary restrictions |
Disadvantages | Dependence on HD center slot availability/timings Have to travel to HD center Communicable Infection risk Access issues Impact on social life/travel | Training requirements Work-load for the patient/caregiver Difficulty with some insurances Space requirements Need for clean environment for the dialysis at home |

Manipal appointment system had some issues, but the doctor was kind enough to help us out of her way and guided us on how to get this appointment faster much, appreciated her efforts in caring for her patients
I would have given 10 stars to Dr Pallavi. Both me and my wife have been patients of Dr. Pallavi for more than 6 years now. She supported us throughout—before, during, and after our transplant. Dr. Pallavi has been much more than a doctor to both of us, probably a "health mentor" through all these years. While Dr. is excellent from a clinical standpoint, more impressive is her ability to listen to the patient and engage in a very pleasant and positive conversation to ensure that the (already tense) patient is at ease. I have personally seen her nephrology department grow in the hospital. All the best, Doc.............you are doing a wonderful job.
