Dialysis Peritoneal Dialysis:


Dialysis is one way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys can no longer do the job. In peritoneal dialysis the inside lining of your own stomach acts as a natural filter. A soft plastic tube (catheter) is placed in your stomach by surgery. A sterile cleaning fluid is put into your stomach through this catheter. After the filtering process is finished, the fluid leaves your body through the catheter.
